Startupbootcamp has announced the formation of the first European Startup Accelerator program. The program will take place annually in Madrid and Copenhagen in 2011 with the inclusion of Berlin and London in 2012.

Madrid. Application period starts from January 21 and ends on May 15 for the June to September period.
