MediaTech Hub Potsdam, Germany’sonly digital hub for media technologies and startup center in Brandenburg that connects the technologies that are transforming media, is inviting applications for the next cohort of its Accelerator startup programme for new Mediatech startup.
The MTH Accelerator programme connects early-stage startups at the intersection of media and technology with the ecosystem, resources, and expertise needed to turn an idea into a market-ready business model.
