#Background
The startup stronghold Cologne continues to position itself as an international location. A new partnership with a leading Indian start-up center is intended to pave the way for startups from India to Europe – with Cologne as the first port of call.
Our partner KölnBusiness concludes a cooperation agreement with the Indian start-up and innovation center T-Hub. The aim of the partnership is to actively support startups from India in entering the European market – with Cologne as the central point of contact. T-Hub, based in Hyderabad, is considered the world’s largest start-up center and is closely linked to the Indian startup and tech scene.
As part of the cooperation, KölnBusiness is developing concrete offers for Indian founders. Among other things, digital information and exchange formats as well as structured soft landing programs are planned. The focus is on startups from the areas of software & IT and healthcare – two sectors with strong growth potential in India and Cologne.
The Indian AI company shows how market entry can be successful RiskAIwhich opened a location in Cologne in 2024. In addition, KölnBusiness is continuing to expand its international network, including with organizations such as the Indian IT association NASSCOM.
Cologne is sending a clear signal to India’s startup scene: the road to Europe leads across the Rhine.
