A PROJECT OF
IT'S a match!

CEO MEETS CEO.

JOINTLY, CORPORATES & STARTUPS SOLVE A DIGITAL CHALLENGE.

Frankfurt Forward brings together what belongs together. Not only in our jury sessions for the Startup of the Month award we regularly bring young startups and corporates together at one table. In order to promote digitization and innovative business ideas in the Frankfurt ecosystem, we also offer local corporates the chance to be matched with a startup to solve a specific digital challenge in a way that is precisely tailored to their needs. 

In 1:1 matchings, experience and consistency encounter pioneering spirit and wealth of ideas.

Fresh impulses at CEO meets CEO light!

In an (virtual) meeting, we create the space for a 1:1 exchange in which all questions and topics are permitted: from pitches of current ideas, feedback on existing business models or brainstorming sessions on possible collaborations.

For better access to capital and deal flow, we offer a CEO meets
VC/investor
in addition to CEO meets CEO light.

Joint solutions at CEO meets CEO extended!

In a collaboration lasting several weeks, startup and (industrial) corporate work together to solve a current challenge of the established company.

1
The corporate defines a current digital challenge.
2
Selected startups will present their individual out-of-the-box approach to the solution.
3
The corporate will invite the most convincing startup to a face to face pitch.
4
After an approx. one-month cooperation, both CEOs will come together to discuss the lessons learned and the further collaboration.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

The format is fee-based for all corporates. The matchmaking sessions are always initiated precisely and based on concrete needs. Participation for startups is free of charge, but requires that matchmaking partners on the corporate or investor side have expressed interest in a match.
