For companies, investors and multipliers
Partnerships and collaborations between young startups and established companies can bring numerous benefits to both sides. Startups usually need financial support, industry knowledge, the right partners and feedback on their own business idea in the early development phase. In return, established companies can benefit from the dynamism, innovative strength and flexibility of startups.
You would like to become part of the Startup-Port startup ecosystem as a company, investor or multiplier? We are happy to work with you to find the best form of participation for you and help you meet startups that fit your innovation goals. In our community, you benefit from close exchange, numerous events and workshops in a constantly growing innovation network.
Cooperate
Collaboration between startups and established companies is of great interest to both sides and offers numerous opportunities to jointly identify innovation needs and develop solutions. Startups can provide companies with new technologies, products and business models and help them improve their own offerings, while they themselves benefit from the companies’ resources and expertise.
We connect partners in the best possible way to leverage such potential. In whatever way you would like to cooperate with a start-up, as a pilot customer or innovation partner, we will be happy to support you in working out joint projects.
