The Luxembourg-based battery and cell upcycling startup was one of ten international startups selected to scale its market reach.
Newly launched this summer by the City of Hamburg, the Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg is a local initiative offering a range of incentives to startups in order to help them scale across Germany and Europe.
Professional service providers from Hamburg’s innovation ecosystem, as well as Hamburg’s economic promotion agency Hamburg Invest and their networks, will provide valuable one-on-one guidance and incentives worth up to €50K to all participating startups.
