Starburst Accelerator (Static B4) is at the Paris Air Show this week to highlight its ability to provide assistance to innovative startup companies in the aerospace sector. Twenty of the 30 startups that have benefited from the Paris office’s business acceleration services are represented at the show, and a further 12 successful applicants have been selected this week.

Impulse Partners created Starburst Accelerator last year to provide a full set of services to startups as they strive to achieve growth status. Assistance includes establishing contacts with major aerospace companies, liaison with investors, city-center accommodation and themed workshops. The remit of the accelerator is to promote innovation within all areas of the aerospace sector.

Following on from the success of the Paris-based operation, a new accelerator has been established in Los Angeles and third is planned to launch in Germany this fall.
