We are proud that the 100 startups represent more than 20 countries in Europe and beyond, as part of our goal to draw in the top tech startups in the continent.
During the 8–10-week programs, startups benefit from tailor-made support from BRYCK mentors and industry experts to solve their challenges and get access to investors, customers and talents.
For the programs, we cooperate with strong partners including 10xD, e-combinator, enpulse, EWG - Essener Wirtschaftsförderung, H2UB, Initiativkreis Ruhr & Universitätsmedizin Essen, who contribute their expertise and network to the startups.
