Plug and Play is a global innovation platform that started as an accelerator and continues to expedite startup growth through its programs, investments through Plug and Play Ventures, and connections to its worldwide network. It matches startups and enterprise corporations through 20 industry-specific programs, including mobility, energy, and brand and retail.

Messaging has become a popular way to get business done, especially in the industries of media, advertising and e-commerce. To facilitate innovation in these realms, Plug and Play LA hosted its first accelerator program, which just wrapped up in early December. The hybrid program was developed with Meta Platforms Inc., Plug and Play LA's main corporate partner.
