ACCESS ACCELERATION CENTER
A2C Overview
The Access Acceleration Center (A2C) is the embodiment of Access Holdings’ commitment to provide our platform company partners access to cutting-edge capabilities that drive the potential for scale and innovation in their businesses.
The A2C’s mission anchors around four pillars:
A2C is the physical home for Access’ value creation capabilities such as digital & analytics, ESG, contemporary communications, and functional excellence. Through A2C, we will continue to build these capabilities, operate them with the aim to create value, for our platform company partners to execute independently.

A2C is a contemporary events space and operates as a shared service for both Access and our platform company partners to plan and host in-person events such as board meetings, investor presentations, recruiting events, and networking activities.
At the core of Access’ culture is the fundamental belief that we need to positively impact the communities in which we live and work. Through partnerships with community organizations, we use the A2C to drive education and career-building programs for the members of our local communities.
