Building deep tech & AI startups with founders at the core.
Germany has gone all-in on deep tech, and so have we. Technology like AI and Quantum Computing will shape the future of the European economy.
We’ve joined forces with Fraunhofer’s Heinrich Hertz Institute to accelerate the creation of the next generation of deep tech businesses through our startup program.
