Background
OPENAXEL intends to open the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Europe by identifying the key stakeholders of the acceleration and the ICT industries and fostering coordinated involvement and smart cooperation among them. It will consist of an interactive map that will provide a complete vision of the different acceleration services offered within Europe as well as information of start-ups and the main digital corporations within our network, to facilitate interaction and contact between them.
Additionally, OPENAXEL will detect best entrepreneurial European through two calls for projects to select the most promising 18 start-ups in Europe. After the success of the first contest, the second call will open from September 1st to October 31st 2015.
A systemic cooperation will finally happen by the coordinated involvement of core acceleration ecosystem players (Startups, venturing, angels, mentors, global influencers & service providers) and the ICT industry.
The geo coverage is guaranteed through the project partners’ networks which have Accelerators Facilities in all the European States. Special attention will be devoted to less innovative ecosystems like Central Eastern Europe. Meanwhile international connections are also reinforced to attract foreign investment through international projection towards USA and LATAM.
We believe there is great potential to further develop the ICT start-ups with cross border collaboration at European level.
