PIER4 for startups

We are on the lookout worldwide for innovative and technology-driven start-ups in order to initiate collaborations or facilitate the development of prototypes.

Either at individual pitches to companies or at regular PIER 4 pitching sessions , hand-picked start-ups present their products and services . In further discussions with interested partners, cooperation opportunities are explored and, ideally, successfully implemented in the short term.

Startups, watch out!
