STARTUPS

North Rhine-Westphalia has a networked and active startup ecosystem, and the number of startups founded is pointing upward even during the Corona crisis. In order for things to continue on an upward trajectory, young entrepreneurs need stronger impetus in the areas of growth and financing. These are the findings of the North Rhine-Westphalia Startup Monitor 2020, which was presented by Economics and Digital Minister Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart together with Christian Miele, President of the German Startups Association.

#neuland - Creating the digital future together - is intended to offer forward-looking startups an opportunity & platform to present sustainable and innovative ideas & visions and to discuss them in direct exchange with established entrepreneurs & investors.
