We strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs and Corporates through access to startups and new technologies. Our starting point is always the customer: what is the status quo, what are the strategic goals, which target profile can be derived therefrom? On this basis, we identify suitable startups with relevant innovations (scouting). In addition, we support the initiation of cooperation and support our customers with recommendations for action and assessment of the start-ups.
OUR USPs:
- The focus on B2B applications and patent-based technologies (product innovations, no business model innovations).
- A proprietary database, grown since 2010, with over 6,000 European startups and innovations.
- The HIGHTECH VENTURE DAYS (HTVD). Through our flagship format, we have built personal relationships with research institutions, industry associations, incubators and investors in over 30 countries since 2013. This gives us a pan-European access to new technologies and start-ups.
OUR SERVICES:
- Scouting: Project to find suitable startups and technologies, modular and customized
- Accelerator: Support for existing accelerator programs by identifying and acquiring suitable startups
- HTVD-Partnership: access to complete deal flow (200 startups annually), positioning (branding) through active contributions and marketing measures
OUR REFERENCES:
Since 2013, we have been organizing the HIGHTECH VENTURE DAYS and have become an institution for high-tech in Europe. Every year, incubators, research institutes and investors from more than 30 countries nominate their best startups to be part of the conference. From this deal flow, 40 startups are selected to present themselves to financial (Venture Capital, Family Offices) and strategic investors (Corporates, SMEs).
From these cooperations we have developed strong relationships with partners and startups from all over Europe. They are the fundament for our corporate services: We offer industrial companies access to startups and new technologies. Therefore we draw on the HIGHTECH VENTURE DAYS deal flow of the past years and on the other hand include our partners and networks into the identification process. Our focus are industry-related startups (B2B) with IP-technologies and real products (hardware).
To us, high-tech means:
