WISE has opened applications for its 2026-2027 EdTech Accelerator, a year-long program for early-stage, for-profit startups building solutions across K-12, higher education and professional development.
The program offers two tracks. The Local Track is for seed to pre-Series A startups looking to scale and enter Qatar’s education market, while the International Track supports ventures expanding globally without focusing on a specific market.
Selected startups receive one-to-one coaching, expert masterclasses and access to WISE’s global network of investors and education specialists. They may also gain visibility through international events, WISE platforms and the WISE Summit in Doha.
Applicants must be beyond the MVP stage, demonstrate traction and sales, and typically have raised less than $500,000. The accelerator is open to startups from any geography, but applicants must show measurable impact, a viable business model and potential to scale. WISE said it particularly values strong teams with co-founders and relevant experience in education, technology or entrepreneurship.
The program has a 5% acceptance rate. Applications must be submitted in English by October 31, 2026. Shortlisted startups will be invited to an interview.
