Innovation, creativity, inspiration and profound respect – those are the first impressions when you enter STATION F! Those famous halls – la halle Freyssinet built in 1920 – are still as fascinating as they where in 2017 founded by Xavier Niel. This biggest startup incubator in Europe attracts every year 1000 startups desiring to be part of one of the 30 programmes present in STATION F. How to push innovation from school/ university level on, the needs of the next unicorns and programs of international market development were topics discussed by Johannes Velling, director of the "Digitalization and Startups" department of the Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Industrie, Klimaschutz und Energie des Landes NRW and Orhiane Savarese in the Incubateur HEC Paris . The AHK Frankreich / Chambre Franco-Allemande de Commerce et d'Industrie is very proud to count on such an amazing partner and frontrunner in terms of innovation support: 11% of the French unicorns came out of HEC as well as 25% of the next 40. We are looking forward to our cooperation during Viva Technology to welcome more than 100 German startups and to showcase the best of French-German cooperation projects on the French-German Tech Lab.! #FGTL, HEC Paris - Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute #PartnerForStartups

Right now, upwards of 1000 #innovative #startups across Europe are working to complete their #eicaccelerator Full Proposals ahead of the cut-off on March 13th. Many drop off before the finish line due to the complexity. At the corresponding cut-off last year, 32 out of 476 submitted Full Proposals were granted. All candidates face the same #challenge: to be able to present Europe's sharpest #businesscase and #investmentcase based on a technology they understand better than anyone else in the world. At GAEU Consulting, we turn down most of the inquiries we receive (many project ideas are simply not strong enough, and we always say it like it is). However, when we do take on the task of writing a competitive grant application, we go all-in in close collaboration with the client. These are some of the reasons why GAEU's clients so often appear in the result lists. The next EIC Accelerator cut-off is October 3rd. I wish everyone in the race towards March 13th good luck 💪

To yesterday’s post: Irrelevance in Germany's dynamic market can cost far more than the investment in a coach. Without proper guidance, international MedTech companies risk fading into obscurity. With a coach, your brand not only gains relevance but also becomes a contender. The price of staying relevant is an investment in your brand's future and prominence in a key global market. ➡ Download "How to Start a Business in Germany" here: https://lnkd.in/eEmP6QDc #germanbusiness #europeanbusiness #internationalbusiness #startup #startupcompany #international #japan
