“Disrupt or be disrupted.” This is what I took from meetings with investors, competitors, and start-ups in Silicon Valley. My thanks go to German Silicon Valley Innovators, who have enriched our stay in Silicon Valley with their expertise and network. After these discussions, I am more convinced than ever that a trend scouting team can add value and make the difference.

“The visit of our Enterprise Partner delegation to Silicon Valley has made it clear that we need to intensify communication with the start-up community there in order to better support German industry in its innovation strategies. I can highly recommend the cooperation with German Innovators – great organization and especially great insights into the innovative power of the Silicon Valley.”
