The ADE 2020 “Innovative project accelerator” programme is an initiative of the Institute for Business Competitiveness of Castilla y León (ICE) aimed at helping entrepreneurs develop their innovative ideas and make them into business opportunities. 

The ADE 2020 programme takes place twice a year, selecting around ten initiatives each time for their innovation and growth potential and their prospects for future sustainability.

This initiative includes training and coaching for developing and implementing the business plan, in addition to advice and support for commercialisation, and even seeking public funding and attracting private investment.

The CLH Group and ICE have had a collaboration agreement in place since 2014, which has enabled the company to award the most unique projects from the latest editions of the ADE 2020 programme as part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Network promoted by the regional government of Castilla y León.

-Lithe Apparel, a company from Burgos that produces and sells sport technical clothing with a modern design and optimum performance.

-The Global Sharing Company Kolaboo, a company from Valladolid offering a comparison engine for tours and touristic activities at a chosen destination.
