DESY Start-up Office’s Post

Lovin´ the start-up community. ❤️ This picture of us with our friends from different organizations is from Central European Startup Awards gala night. We all cooperate #together on boosting the start-up ecosystem and support those who want to turn ideas into reality. A power of such #community creates the place where innovative minds meet to share ideas, resources, and support, resulting in shared success. Do not underestimate this power, we feel this quote by Helen Keller sums it all up why it makes sense: “Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.”. #aceon #aceonaccelerator #startupcommunity
