Techstars, the worldwide network that aims to help entrepreneurs succeed, announced a new partnership with BSH, a global appliance manufacturer.
The partners will bring a new mentorship-driven accelerator programme to Munich, Germany, called BSH Future Home Accelerator Powered by Techstars. Techstars has a long history in Germany, dating back to our first Techstars Startup Weekend in 2010. This is the fifth Techstars Mentorship-driven Accelerator program in Germany, following successful accelerator programs in Berlin.
BSH and Techstars are looking for innovative startup companies from around the globe that will bring pioneering technologies to change the way digital consumers live, cook and do housework, especially in the heart of the future home – the connected kitchen.
