Guests at “Kohle meets Kölsch” 🚀

Last week, our Principal Erik Walkling joined the ecosystem mixer “Kohle meets Kölsch” in #Cologne, bringing together the Ruhr area and the Rheinland under one roof.🧑🧑🧒

Following the theme “am Kranz, nicht im Konferenzraum”, startups, investors, corporates and ecosystem builders came together. The result were honest conversations & new connections all across #NRW.🍻

With Gateway Factory, BRYCK Startup Alliance and xdeck leading the way, the evening was a strong reminder of how much Factory Power there is when research, entrepreneurship and capital come together.Big thank you to Dr. Markus Gick and Dr. Dennis Zeiler for the invitation. We’ll happily be back the next time the Rhine and Ruhr startup scenes raise a glass together.
