The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create it.

Located in Windsor, Ontario, The Accelerator is an entrepreneurial ecosystem with co-working spaces specifically designed to help accelerate the growth of start-ups and emerging businesses, featuring on-site training and mentoring programs in a truly collaborative environment. Together with our clients and partners, we’re working hard to create the future of Windsor and Ontario.

The magic that makes The Accelerator successful is social capital – the idea that a network provides value to its members by allowing them to access the social resources embedded within that network. In other words, everyone who becomes a client of The Accelerator immediately gains access to the knowledge, experience and connections that The Accelerator has been building since 2011.

With a 10+ year history of being southwestern Ontario’s regional collaboration hub, The Accelerator’s startup community, entrepreneurs, SMEs and operations staff reflect the diversity of Ontario, Canada and the world at large. The Accelerator’s strength as a unique cross-border, multi-industry business co-working space, incubator, business accelerator and scale-up organization is due in part to our location on the scenic Detroit River waterfront in Canada’s southernmost city, adjacent to the urban amenities of Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Accelerator sits on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, which includes the Ojibwa, the Odawa, and the Potawatomie. We respect the longstanding relationships with Canada’s First Nations people across the country and in the 100-mile Windsor-Essex peninsula and the straits – les détroits – of Detroit.

We invite the next generation of great innovators to join The Accelerator. As a quote by famed business mind Peter Drucker states, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” The Accelerator is here to help you do just that.

"I came here looking for a desk and we ended up finding a home.  Not only is there a huge working area with a cafe, but there are workshops available for us to work on everything from simple software deployments to automotive and agriculture tech.  This is the place we've all been looking for to actualize our projects while having access to the tools and support we need.  If you're serious about creating, or growing your business, you need to be here.."
