Scale-uptrade mission Berlin[OCTOBER 29 - 31, 2019]

Introduction

The Netherlands Embassy in Berlin is honoured to host this first scale-up trade mission to Berlin in 2019. For the Netherlands, Berlin is a priority hub for startups and scale-ups. Berlin ranks the lists of the most innovative regions in Germany. More and more German companies focus on the German capital when looking for digital solutions. Volkswagen opened here, as did Porsche, and numerous others. For a Dutch scale-up enough good reasons to cross the border and to pay Berlin a visit.

Germany and the Netherlands are both part of the EU internal market. Germany is close to the Netherlands, both geographically as well as culturally. Both countries have one of the most intense economic relationships that can be found between two countries worldwide. This does not mean that doing business in Germany is a like a walk in the park. There are di�erences, but once you overcome them, synergies prevail.

We are glad to organise this mission together with DutchBasecamp. It helps us to accelerate the internationalisation process of the tech ecosystem of the Netherlands in Germany. And … we are not doing this alone. We are part of a broader coalition of organisations and individuals, sharing the belief that the co-creative and pioneering mindset of the Dutch is a strong and helpful basis for finding solutions to global challenges. In Germany, the Netherlands Embassy is part of a broader network for economic diplomacy. The Consulates-general in Munich and Dusseldorf and the Netherlands Business Support O�ices in Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Hamburg also support (tech) companies to scale up and accelerate their growth, and in most cases start exporting for the first time. Interested in those regions? Do not hesitate to contact them, it’s their pleasure to help you answering your questions.

The Netherlands Embassy in Germany wants to help and support tech companies in their internationalisation strategies in Germany. We want to help break down the barriers you might encounter and we like to help you with creating a so� landing in Germany. This mission is an important step in that perspective. We are confident that this visit will bring you closer to that goal!

It applies machine learning and AI algorithms to provide face biometrics that work with various lighting conditions, user poses, low resolution images and partly occluded faces. Thereby, 20face puts the user in control of his own facial vectors. The user gives consent to certain endpoints (cameras) which may use the data (or not). This makes it GDPR compliant.
