The most talented German startups are supported in their international expansion by the German Accelerator, and FUSE-AI is one of them since this year! The most promising German startups are supported in their international expansion by the German Accelerator, and FUSE-AI is one of them since this year! As a result, we are now part of the German Entrepreneurship network, which brings together already successful startups, international partners such as universities, companies of all sizes, relevant associations, and investors. We already reported about our application last year.

Early adaptations avoid costly and time-consuming loopholes or failures and provide startups a more secure foundation in the long run!

Tailored programs are offered to the participating SMEs to support them on an equal basis with their mentors and provide them with the necessary training to master the demands of their international target markets. Experts evaluate their business models according to the relevant markets, assist the startups with their knowledge, and provide their advice. These services are free of charge, excluding only a few programs.

Do you know where you want to go?

When expanding to the USA, the young entrepreneurs are free to choose between Silicon Valley and New York. Companies in the life sciences sector will benefit from a special program in Boston, Massachusetts. To enter the Southeast Asian markets, Singapore's office is the designated gateway. "Next Step" is a free "Market Discovery Program" that offers startups the opportunity to explore the Asian region for their business model.

The German Accelerator

For over 10 years, the German Accelerator has been influencing the startup ecosystem in Germany, the US and Asia. More than 500 startups have successfully gone through at least one of the programs and received more than US$4.9 billion in funding to date. Even current unicorns such as Celonis, Forto, Raisin and Signavio benefited from the funding.

German Entrepreneurship GmbH operates the German Accelerator and is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The funding of startups is understood as a direct investment in innovation, new jobs and economic growth. Shareholdings in companies are not funded.
