German Silicon Valley Innovators Inc. Information

German Silicon Valley Innovators Inc. is the Innovation Outpost for all German „Mittelstand” and Corporations, which has a deep and fundamental interest in Innovation and the Startup ecosystem of Silicon Valley. Co-founded by Prof. Dietmar Harhoff, Chairman of the German Expert Commission reporting to Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Director for Innovation at the Munich Max-Planck-Institute. Besides Harhoff, Dr. Werner Hagemann, CEO of the Munich Leadership Group, Dirk Kanngiesser, former CEO German Accelerator, Oliver Hanisch, serial Entrepreneur and Uwe Wagner, cyber security expert, we are working with many selected consultants. We are based in Silicon Valley and cover the intersection of Startup success and disruptive innovation. Ever since we proceed according to our Mission: „German Silicon Valley Innovators offers German companies tailor-made access to Silicon Valley’s startup and innovation ecosystem. We enable our customers to take advantage of the local network as well as the experiences and opportunities Silicon Valley provides.” To ensure sustainable success of our customers, we believe that only high-quality services can enable innovation progress and fundamental changes in long-standing companies, like most of our customers. Thus, we tailor our services according to and in consultation with our customers’ needs and objectives, instead of providing standardized products. A strong working relationship with the Haas School of Business UC Berkeley, one of the most successful public universities in the world, allows us to draw in lecturers and professors from almost all fields.
