About this event
Plug&Play is a US-based organization that runs 60+ startup accelerator programs in 35 cities worldwide. They maintain a global network of startups that can be activated and accelerated, upon the request of one of Plug&Play's partners. Last year, Plug&Play opened its Maritime chapter in Antwerp, with partners such as CMB, Euronav, DxC, Port of Antwerp-Bruges and City of Antwerp. These partners have innovation challenges, and Plug&Play Maritime selected 9 startups that are being accelerated to provide a tech-response to these challenges.
xyzt.ai is one of the two Belgian startups participating in Plug&Play Maritime. Twikit is an Antwerp-based company that enrolled in an earlier Plug&Play program a couple of years ago.
Both will give a testimonial about the benefits Plug&Play can bring to your startup, in particular the possibility to be selected to participate in accelerator programs abroad.
And to top it off, our very own Marple-founder Matthias Baert, will close this community event with a vibrant story about his previous work as an engineer in the Formula 1 pitlane.
An interesting community night, with plenty of entertaining stories and concrete opportunities, in particular (but not exclusively) for our startups and scale-ups!
