Organisational Partnerships
Axcelerate invests beyond client work, in partnerships that keep us sharp, give back to the profession, and bring people together.
HNCO – Collaboration on ERP vendor relations, engagements and industry conferences, keeping our market view sharp and independent.
Lyngby Boldklub – Our sponsorship creates shared experiences for clients and partners alike – the kind of relationship-building that happens outside a boardroom.
DTU – Our guest lecturer programme puts us in front of the next generation of ERP and transformation talent, shaping the pipeline our industry will rely on.
IT-Branchen – Active participation on the New Tech board keeps us close to where the industry is heading, so the insight we bring to clients stays current, not historical.
