The program provides participating companies with several months of training, mentoring, and business development support designed to accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies in both the public and commercial sectors.
Prestige and Selection in Warsaw Booster 2026
Warsaw Booster is a leading startup acceleration program funded by the City of Warsaw. The initiative is delivered in collaboration with key organizations from Poland’s innovation ecosystem, including Startup Hub Poland Foundation, StartSmart Central & Eastern Europe, and the MOST Foundation.
Its mission is to identify and support early-stage technology companies with the highest market potential and the ability to develop scalable solutions addressing real-world challenges.
This year’s recruitment process was highly competitive. The selection committee evaluated 145 applications, ultimately choosing only 20 startups to participate in the program.
Such a selective acceptance rate confirms Warsaw Booster’s position as one of Poland’s most prestigious startup acceleration initiatives. The selected companies will take part in an intensive program featuring dedicated workshops, one-on-one business mentoring, and consultations with industry experts.
MedTech/HealthTech Under the Spotlight
The accelerator is organized into several dedicated technology verticals. The MedTech/HealthTech track brings together startups developing medical technologies, digital health solutions, and assistive care systems. Only five companies were selected in this category.
Echo Sense earned its place thanks to its development of contactless safety and vital signs monitoring technology for older adults. Participation in the accelerator will enable the company to validate its solution in an urban environment while adapting its operational processes to the requirements of public institutions and commercial partners.
The official launch of the program is scheduled for July 6, 2026, during the Warming Up / Kickoff event, which will include networking sessions for startup founders, city representatives, and partners of the acceleration consortium.
