Hi, I'm Hannah – nice to meet you. My passion is open innovation & tech and being honest: this goes hand in hand with people. Connecting people with different backgrounds, teaching the (un)experienced ones, learning from each other, and creating new things together. After doing this for the last few years, building up our EMEA offices like the first one, STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play or other locations like the UK, Sweden, Istanbul, etc., I am now officially supporting all verticals in Plug and Play with Open Innovation Sevices. Experience in the Corporate, Startup, Conference, and Media World, and research in ''Corporate Entrepreneurship'' and ''intrinsic motivation.'' What I did and now moved from operational to advising: At STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play, I manage, develop, and execute our program with 31 partners, be the go-to point for our program and alumni startups, take care of our community and external partnerships, organize all internal and external events such as EXPOs and Innovation Days, and manage our STARTUP AUTOBAHN platform communication. Along with my team, our partners (Mercedes, Porsche, BASF, Hyundai, DPDHL, Bosch, and more), and over 300 global startups (what3words, Celonis, holoride, flip and more), we are connecting the dots between both worlds, working together on the future of mobility, production, sustainability and beyond in more than 400 pilot projects – to implement the new technology! Beyond, I support new Plug and Play (HQ in Silicon Valley) Offices in EMEA and beyond (such as the UK, Istanbul, Sweden, Maritim in Antwerp, or India) to set up a new office and program, working here together with global OEMs like Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, Stellantis, Bentley, Togg and the ecosystem around. Happy to connect.
