Disney Accelerator is a corporate accelerator run by The Walt Disney Company that helps growth-stage startups innovate in entertainment, media, and technology. Disney’s UK HQ is a short distance from Golden Mile London at Hammersmith Broadway.
The Disney Accelerator programme selects a small cohort of companies each year from global applicants for an intensive 3‑month experience, providing mentorship from Disney executives, access to investment capital, workspace at Disney’s campuses, and opportunities to collaborate with Disney’s creative, tech, and business teams.
It culminates in a Demo Day where startups showcase their progress to investors and industry leaders. The accelerator focuses on emerging technologies such as extended reality (XR), AI, immersive media, robotics, and other innovations that complement Disney’s business, helping startups scale, refine their strategies, and build industry connections.
