LIME at the German Accelerator
© German Accelerator
"Empowering German Startups to Scale Globally" - this is the slogan of the German Accelerator . The programme is aimed at German start-ups that can already demonstrate promising success on the ground and have the potential to succeed in the international market. We are very pleased to announce that the selection committee of the German Accelerator has confirmed that LIME has just such potential: We have been accepted into the important funding programme, which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology!
"Hey team, good news!", Andi announced the great news to us. He had written the extensive application and especially put a lot of time and effort into creating a new pitch deck. "It was absolutely worth it. The programme is a huge step towards the US. The support from experts brings a huge advantage compared to mastering the entire brand entry without the technical know-how."
The funding is aimed at several sectors - our AnyHand can be placed in the Life Science Programme, which is based in Cambridge near Boston. An individually assembled team of experienced mentors accompanies us over the next few months in the first phase of the multi-stage programme. The "Prep Program" is mainly about a market analysis in the USA, regulatory requirements for a medical device on site and support in building a local network. After about four months, an agenda will have emerged to prepare the market entry and derive next steps.
Not only dedicated coaching and workshops are part of the funding, but in the future also support in setting up an office in the direct vicinity of some of the country's most important universities, numerous biotech companies and a well-positioned health sector.
Being accepted into the German Accelerator is not only an invaluable support in terms of content. It is also a mark of how well LIME is positioned and how much development potential the experienced team members see in us. Our joy about this recognition and the big steps towards internationalisation could hardly be greater!
