Tech Accelerator

We help and support Start-ups

We support innovative ideas and business models in the logistics industry: anything from drones to driverless vehicles to completely transparent, digitised storage – the future of logistics thrives on innovation and interconnectedness. We are member of the international Logistics Tech Accelerator and partner with San Francisco’s RocketSpace technology campus and Spain’s Kaleido in sourcing viable future technology solutions in warehousing, transport and trade. Apply HERE to register for the Accelerator.

About the Accelerator

The Accelerator offers start-ups the opportunity to draw on the know-how of Fiege and other experts over a period of four months. Enjoy being trained by top managers or consultants, have mentors give you personalised supervision and maybe get a chance to pilot a project at a Fiege branch. A four-week course on the topics of fundraising, marketing, sales and product development starts off the Accelerator programme.
