Expanding into new markets is tough. Regulations differ. Cultures shift. Networks matter. For startups aiming at international startup scaling, picking the right accelerator can make all the difference. Let’s compare Google’s Growth Academy: AI for GovTech with Nextidal’s International Accelerator Programs—so you can choose the path that fits your vision.
Why Accelerator Programs Matter for International Startup Scaling
The good news? The world is more connected than ever.
The challenge? Breaking into cross-border markets still takes local know-how, legal finesse and a solid network.
Accelerator programs help you:
– Secure mentorship from industry experts.
– Access funding without giving away equity.
– Get resources tailored for cross-border expansion.
– Join a community of peers tackling similar hurdles.
But not all accelerators are equal. Let’s dive in.
Google Growth Academy: AI for GovTech at a Glance
Google’s EMEA-focused program has built a strong reputation for supporting AI startups in public sector tech. Here’s what you get:

- Custom mentorship from Google product teams and industry leaders
- Hands-on Google tools and product advice
- Access to a global alumni network spanning 135+ countries
