Prospect Programme

Programme Overview
We are launching our Cocoon Prospect Programme with a primary focus on building a comprehensive network that pools accelerator programmes, mentor resources, funding opportunities and a great variety of startup services across different industries. Cocoon Networks will act as an initiator as well as a link between China and the UK. We aspire to continuously add value by matching startups with exactly the resources they require.
