Beyond the pilot - Startups meet Corporate Innovation
​🦩 For one special evening, Flämingo Startup Hub and DB mindbox (Deutsche Bahn's startup hub) will open their doors in Berlin to mobility founders, innovators, experts, and investors interested in the future of mobility. Together, we support startups on their journey from early-stage growth and first pilot projects to long-term corporate collaboration.
​We'll talk openly about what it takes to move beyond the pilot stage and create lasting business relationships between startups and large organizations, and what both sides can do better along the way.
