Microsoft has launched a new program to support UK
start-ups.
According to ZDNet, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer
said the aim of the so-called Startup Accelerator Programme is to help those
companies that show enormous potential but find it difficult to get
started in the right way.
Microsoft has been running a similar
program in the US. The program will help fledgling businesses realize
their potential and achieve success. It includes technical support and
guidance on Microsoft technologies and platforms including
Silverlight.
At least four companies Miomni, Zebtab, Corebridge and
ViaPost--have already joined the program.
