Creonic Selected for German Silicon Valley Accelerator
Kaiserslautern, Germany, Jan. 20 2014 – The German
Silicon Valley Accelerator (GSVA) selected 12 start-up companies from
all over Germany to take part in the acceleration program in Silicon
Valley. Supported by the German Ministry of Economics and Technology,
the young companies receive the chance to succeed in Silicon Valley and
thereby extend their global operations.
GSVA’s network is perfectly positioned in the intersection between Silicon Valley innovators, Venture Capitalists, the best German start-ups and a top-class committee of experts. This was especially evident during the “Celebrating Innovation” winners’ party at which big international names of the venture capital scene were present. Peter Hornik, Managing Director of the mobile internet incubator 1stMOVER and local hero, was enthusiastic about Celebrating Innovation and compared the series with the “Champions League” of the German start-up scene.
