Greater Global Connectedness<\/strong> leads to higher performance for startups and their ecosystems. Establishing more relationships between founders and executives in other parts of the world brings in more ideas and more innovation, resulting in faster startup growth and more vibrant ecosystems.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

.<\/p>\n

“Startups thrive on relationships and the exchange of ideas\u2014with customers, investors, corporations, and, especially, other startups. These ideas include \u201chard\u201d knowledge such as technical ideas about product improvement, new scientific ideas, and how to sell into different markets. But global connectedness also brings the benefits of a global network to startups and their ecosystems, including giving introductions and being exposed to a pay-it-forward mentality. The exchange of this knowledge occurs through personal relationships, and more relationships leads to faster-growing start-ups. The broader those connections are, the better the growth outcomes will be for startups and their ecosystems.”<\/p>\n

This passage from the \u201cGlobal Startup Ecosystem Report 2017\u201d beautifully sums up exactly what we are striving for. Our roadshow, that happened from October 18-29, was the perfect tool for this aim. A delegation of 25 startup ecosystem players \u2013 ten from Berlin, and five from each partner city \u2013 visited our Asian partner hubs Manila, Jakarta and Bangalore to connect, exchange knowledge and ideas, establish partnerships and get an insight into the works of other striving ecosystems. The program consisted of visits to companies like Tokopedia in Jakarta and YourStory in Bangalore, coworking spaces and accelerators such as the Bosch DNA Accelerator in Bangalore and various startup events and conferences like the Slingshot Conference in Manila. See all roadshow participants and the stops of our roadshow\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many of the roadshow participants were startup ecosystem developers such as Stephanie Arrowsmith (Impact Hub Jakarta<\/a>), Ces Rondario (Impact Hub Manila<\/a>), Dola Samanta (YourStory<\/a>), Kerstin Bock (Openers<\/a>,\u00a0Tech Open Air Berlin<\/a>), Maren Lesche (etventure Startup Hub<\/a>), and Geraldine de Bastion (Global Innovation Gathering<\/a>,\u00a0re:publica<\/a>), with a particular interest in closer connecting the startup ecosystems to one another other, some startups had very specific interest in business activities in those markets. Christoph G\u00f6ller e.g. was watching out for business partners to bring his startup and product\u00a0Coolar<\/a>\u00a0into the rural areas of Indonesia, India and the Philippines. Thanks to our roadshow,\u00a0Bosch DNA Accelerator<\/a>\u00a0offered him a spot on their next batch in Bangalore.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the roadshow was the visit at Jakarta’s\u00a0Smart City<\/a>\u00a0office where the Governor of Jakarta initiated a massive smart and big data project to overcome the traffic situation of Indonesia’s capital and its surrounding regions. The delegation also had the opportunity to meet with local investors in every city and hosted panels with VCs and accelerators from all ecosystems (such as\u00a0East VC<\/a>,\u00a0Kompass Digital<\/a>,\u00a0Z Nation Lab<\/a>,\u00a0Mandiri Capital<\/a>,\u00a0Ascent Ventures<\/a>,\u00a0PI Ventures<\/a>\u00a0and many more). Of course we also thoroughly enjoyed all the amazing venues we were hosted at, from\u00a0Impact Hub<\/a>,\u00a0Kickstart Ventures<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Launch Garage<\/a>\u00a0in Manila,\u00a0EVhive<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Creative Hub<\/a>\u00a0in Jakarta to the\u00a0Bhive Coworking Space<\/a>\u00a0in Bangalore.<\/p>\n

The roadshow\u2019s aim of creating sustainable cooperation between the startup ecosystems was reached successfully and was only exceeded by the incredible group chemistry among our international delegates from very different cultural and professional backgrounds. Ten days of indulging in inspiration, personal exchange of knowledge and ideas, and laughter ended way too soon. We are very confident, however, that these relations will last and are looking forward to seeing the delegates back together at the\u00a0Asia-Pacific Weeks 2018<\/a>!<\/p>\n
