Nitro: the extreme acceleration event - Open call announcement

Startup Europe proudly launches Nitro: the extreme acceleration event. 20 European startups are invited to work with expert consultants, corporates and investors to gear up for the next episode in their development.

What:
During the event, 20 international mature startups will work together with consultants from Capgemini Consulting, Europe Unlimited, Inovamais and INTRASOFT on a wide range of topics receiving 1:1 coaching tailored to their specific needs. Some of the topics that will be covered are:

• Business Model Redesign
• Investment Readiness
• Organizational Design in Startups
• Innovation Management
• Access to European Public Funds

The event is organized in such a way that startups take control by choosing which topics they want to work on before, during and after the event as follow-up support. To maximize the value of these topics, the startups will have the opportunity to learn from the knowledge and experience of these four groups of consultants.

Even more so, delegates of large corporations and investors are present, creating the opportunity for the startups to present their products and receive feedback from representatives of their actual target group and customers. In short, a great opportunity to apply the new insights from the consulting sessions against the standards of the market. All of this will be set up in a truly interactive way, no long presentations but real working sessions to create value for startups

Nitro will take place on the 25th and 26th of May 2016 in the framework of the Startup Europe Fest in the Netherlands.
