STEP USA University Program in NYC
The USA is a lucrative market for innovative products and business models and for venture capital. The United States offers young companies a risk-taking investor landscape and a trend-conscious test market for their business model. To specifically meet the needs of the fast-growing and dynamic scene of university start-ups and spin-offs, the German House for Research and Innovation (DWIH) and the German American Chamber of Commerce based in New York and Boston (GACC New York) offer concrete support with the STEP USA University Program. As part of the trip to New York, the startups learn what is important when entering the US market and how the startup and venture capital scene works in the USA.
