"It is in times of crisis when crucial and sustainable new models are discovered, when we can challenge the business as usual models, start seeing things differently, think and move more freely to create rapid, impactful change."Requirement for High-potential start-ups in Emerging Tech, Sustainable Hospitality, Smart Mobility and Social impact:12 high-potential start-ups wanted who focus on solutions in Emerging Tech, Sustainable Hospitality, Smart Mobility and Social Impact.
