Als besondere St\u00e4rke dieses Accelerators sehe ich die gute Organisation und klare Struktur. Hier wird man richtig \u201eumsorgt\u201c. Faszinierend an diesem Programm ist die Diversit\u00e4t der Teilnehmenden Start-ups, man hat also einen sehr weiten Blick in die Technologie-Newcomer in NRW. Das Netzwerk ist dann auch schon einer der Hauptargumente f\u00fcr das Programm: Gerade weil die Ausrichtung branchen\u00fcbergreifend ist, kommt es zu keiner Konkurrenzsituation und man kann viel voneinander lernen und bekommt neuen Input. Last but not least konnten wir mit dem zweiten Platz am Demo Day die Jury \u00fcberzeugen und bekamen daf\u00fcr viel mediale Aufmerksamkeit. Ich m\u00f6chte anderen Tech-Start-ups den Accelerator ausdr\u00fccklich empfehlen und bedanke mich bei Heinz und Oliver f\u00fcr die starke Zusammenarbeit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">Patrick Bongartz<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BioThrust develops customized aeration solutions for bioreactors.
