Why We Built This Accelerator?
Too many great hardware ideas fail not because of technology, but because they aren’t built to scale. At NexPCB, years of working with global hardware startups taught us that real acceleration must start early—with manufacturing and execution, not after funding. That’s why we partnered with ATUM and launched in Singapore, connecting global innovation with Asia’s manufacturing ecosystem to help founders build hardware ready to scale from day one.
