Citrix is proud to be an ecosystem partner in the Qualcomm® Small Business Accelerator Program, designed to help small businesses convert to a mobile-first work environment necessary to thrive in today’s business climate. The comprehensive program will provide small businesses with products powered by Qualcomm Technologies solutions, along with collaboration tools and technical and integration support, so they can continue to maintain operations throughout the current global pandemic and beyond.
Citrix and Qualcomm Technologies recognize the challenges that small businesses across the United States face, including minority-owned, female-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. With the launch of the Qualcomm Small Business Accelerator Program, Qualcomm Technologies and Citrix (as part of its ecosystem of partners) have committed to provide technology products, services and support to U.S.-based small businesses across various industries.
Approximately 25 small businesses will be selected, and each will receive a unique selection of products and technical support valued at up to US$25,000. Customized to the needs of the selected small business, the program will provide a variety of devices powered by various compute and connectivity solutions from Qualcomm Technologies, such as Always-Connected PCs (cellular-connected laptops), Wi-Fi systems, mobile phones, Bluetooth enabled headsets and active mobile hotspots, along with technical/device integration and support. With more businesses depending on cloud-based solutions, these connected products offer enhanced productivity and security for small businesses.
It’s not too late to apply to the @Qualcomm Small Business Accelerator Program — small businesses interested in receiving up to $25,000 in mobility products and software including Citrix network and workspace solutions to help transition to a mobile-friendly, remote workplace through #Covid19 and beyond now have until Friday, July 10, to submit an application for consideration at https://www.qualcomm.com/covid-19/qualcomm-small-business-accelerator-program.

Other partners include Lenovo™ (5G-enabled PCs), Linksys (Wi-Fi networking devices), Samsung (PCs and mobile devices), Sophos (security software solutions), and Targus (mobile docking stations). They all share Qualcomm Technologies’ commitment to supporting small businesses and will play key roles in the Qualcomm Small Business Accelerator Program. Best Buy Business is also planning to provide technical support.
