Alacrity is a truly global initiative and our model varies based on regional requirements, however, our vision remains the same – to enable young, entrepreneurial business leaders to create world-beating new companies with the support of key local and international resources. Alacrity offices offer differing programmes and can be found in all the following locations.
In the last 3 decades some of the world’s most valuable companies have been started by young graduates. Some notable examples include Microsoft, Apple, Google and Meta.
The Alacrity UK model brings to life the Innovation Driven Ecosystem with engagement from all 5 stakeholder groups. On 9th August 2011 a collaboration between Welsh Government, Wesley Clover, Andrew Probert and the Waterloo Foundation was agreed and the Alacrity Foundation UK was created and the 2012/13 cohort were the first to join us.
The Alacrity Global model developed by Professor Simon Gibson CBE & Owen Matthews, with the support of Sir Terry Matthews taps into the wealth of UK graduate talent and is focused on using graduates primarily for the following reasons:
Eagerness and willingness to learn, adapt and apply themselves to new ways of thinking and doing
Less likely to have external commitments and hence can focus on an intensive pressured environment to get the job done
Lower costs of employment and start-up costs
Are not conditioned by legacy rulebooks and procedures
View problems with a blank canvas
Better conditioned and aligned for digital acquisition strategies
