The PSU Business Accelerator supports and serves tech, bioscience, and green companies from their early stage through growth by providing facilities, programming, and mentors while activating and engaging relationships with each other, PSU, and the entrepreneur ecosystem. The 200+ people who work for Accelerator companies are on a mission. Located at the south end of Portland's central business district near the SW waterfront, the Accelerator draws the region's top science and technology startups with turn-key affordable work space; conference room access; monthly CEO meetings and topic-related Lunch & Learns, plus ready information on business basics, raising funds and managing people. The Accelerator is a connection point to PSU resources, linking companies to research and development capabilities of university faculty and the talent and energy of student project teams.
