\nOur goal is to give African startups access to know-how about the European market and to strengthen partnerships between African startups and established European companies and startups. The initiation of partnerships in the field of digital transformation, also across continents, will create a win-win situation for both parties.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOur program gives startups the opportunity to get to know the European and German ecosystem in a concrete and practical way, to establish first contacts that can be the basis for future business and to acquire relevant knowledge for this purpose.<\/div>\n
\nIn the first part<\/span> of the program, the degree of maturity of the startup in terms of collaboration will be checked. How far is the product development? What still must be done to develop a marketable product, how many resources must be spent on this, how much time does it take? Is the USP well defined and is the added value quantifiable for the customers? How well is the management team performing? How is the go-to-market strategy of the startup, do the plans seem realistic?<\/em> In this step, the aim is to identify gaps and fill them with the support of experts.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe second part<\/span> is about applying the findings of the first part practically. For this reason, startups in the program will acquire knowledge about the German ecosystem and will get access to networking and pitching events. Startups will be able to pitch their products\/services and to attract the attention of potential partners.<\/span> The teams will receive feedback and, if necessary, get the chance to enter discussions\/negotiations with European companies.<\/div>\n
