Berlin, Germany / New York, NY (PRWEB) May 12, 2017
movingimage, the leading secure enterprise video platform (EVP) provider, today announced that the company has been selected for the prestigious German Accelerator Tech program through the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs. German Accelerator Tech supports growing German tech companies in their US market expansion efforts. As a part of this program, movingimage will receive extensive mentoring and support for their successful leap over the Atlantic, including complimentary offices in New York and legal counsel as well as marketing and PR support.
In an announcement made in Berlin, with the Minister for Economic Affairs Brigitte Zypries present, movingimage was confirmed as one of the companies selected for the sponsorship program this year. The enormous potential for growth in the enterprise video market was a significant factor in the decision among the German Accelerator Tech jury.
"We are very pleased that German Accelerator Tech has selected movingimage," said Rainer Zugehör, founder & CEO at movingimage. "This couldn’t come at a better time for us, as we are pursuing an extremely ambitious internationalization strategy. The US is a key market for our globalization, so the support of mentors who know the market inside out and who can help us shape things will be worth its weight in gold when it comes to development."
Through the program, movingimage will also receive mentorship from well-known and experienced leaders in the US tech industry who will provide counsel and make introductions to major technology business networks. These mentors include venerated names within the industry, such as Klaus-Peter-Statz (former President & CEO, Deutsche Telekom USA), Gregor Hochmuth (Co-Founder, Dreams Media and former Instagram & Google Chrome Product Manager) and James Kollegger (CEO, Genesys Partners).
In addition to the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, German Accelerator Tech is financially subsidized by a host of German global players including Deutsche Bank, Siemens and Deutsche Telekom as well as associations such as Bitkom. Companies selected by German Accelerator Tech show the potential to become market leaders in their field, and the program supports them along the way toward becoming the "next SAP."
