To mark the start of this year’s Düsseldorf Startup Week, ERGO today presented its scale-up programme, ERGO ScaleHub. Scale-ups are companies that have already completed their start-up phase. In the following stage, they look for rapid and scalable growth and are eager to offer their products or services to a wider market.

ERGOʼs Innovation & Digital Transformation Unit, together with the Düsseldorf Office of Economic Development and the community space TechHub.K67, want to provide systematic support in future to scale-ups in Düsseldorf operating in the healthcare, finance and insurance sectors.

The partners offer numerous services for this, ranging from access to national and international expert, business or investor networks, to visa contact mediation and workspaces.

Detailed information about the Scale-up program, including quotes from ERGO Group Chief Digital Officer Mark Klein, Christian Zaum, Economic Affairs Officer of the state capital Düsseldorf, and Ella Gemünd, Managing Director of the Community Space TechHub.K67, can be found in our //next magazine.

Interested Scale-ups can find initial information about the services and conditions of the program on the "ERGO ScaleHub" website at scalehub.ergo.com. The program's content will be gradually expanded in the coming weeks and months.
