Hero Training is an exclusive acceleration program aimed at helping technology companies gain access to the global market. Only high potential startups will be selected for the program through an extensive assessment process.

The program consists of two stages. During the first stage, 80 projects will be carefully selected for a two-week online pre-acceleration program. Subsequently, the 15 most promising companies will advance to the offline training phase, held in Silicon Valley, California.

The program is launched with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the World Bank's Project Management Group.

Upon completion of the acceleration, startups will have access to the infrastructure of the Draper University and the representation of technology startups from Central Eurasia in California – Silkroad Innovation Hub.
