A vision in the starting blocks.

What do you associate with start-ups?

A breath of fresh air.

When we talk about start-ups, we immediately think of Silicon Valley and all the groundbreaking achievements it has brought us in recent years. But there is usually much more to a start-up than that. Most are young companies with an innovative business idea and ambitious growth plans. Many of them pursue science- and technology-based approaches that aim to change the market.

Responsibility for the future lies not only with those who come last, but also with those who come first and address the issue at an early stage. What used to be fiction is now innovation. With modern innovations, we can now realise ideas and plans that previously only existed in our minds.

Today's ideas
are tomorrow's
reality.
