Recently, I was invited to mentor startups in the Ignition+ accelerator program by DigiHub Düsseldorf Rheinland, DE.
Currently, I’m helping Osphim, a startup in the recent batch for the next five months. Osphim is helping the injection moulding industry to achieve +70% more efficiency – so if you’re in the industry or know someone in this industry, get in touch; We’d love to hear from you and learn more about your current challenges and future goals!
Recently I was honored and excited to be invited to the new publicly funded (to help counter the energy transition woes for the regional – and the German as a whole – economy) and innovation project called Startup Village by Brainergy Park outside of Jülich, Germany to check out the second batch of their ZEBRA green tech and impact “accelerator”.
It’s a huge investment with the capital – and a huge area – already committed to building out a massive innovation campus, and I do enjoy experiencing new startup initiatives outside of the major cities in this area of the German state of North-Rhine-Westphalia first hand. So much is happening outside of Cologne and Düsseldorf that is often overlooked.
It’s still very early days (not many buildings completed yet), but keep an eye on this area and do visit if you have the chance – even getting there can be quite the adventure…
And if you’re a green tech or impact startup, maybe you want to apply for the next ZEBRA batch?
