Plugging in to the Startup Ecosystem
summary
Plug and Play positions startups at the center of an ecosystem that saves time, money and effort by running over 50 accelerator programs across 26 offices, matching startups to ~300 corporate partners and investing heavily — 262 investments last year and 47 deals in Q2 — while incubating real teams on-site (420 startups in Sunnyvale). Examples: a Mercedes-backed Stuttgart accelerator (Arena 2036) boots local auto startups, Station F and Block 71 aggregate talent, and Japan hub in Shibuya runs fintech, IoT, share-tech and mobility batches.
