Venture Network, an informal weekly pitch slam, is an invaluable resource for early stage entrepreneurs. Venture Network is a forum in which you can engage with the entrepreneurial community, promote your startup, and have the opportunity to pitch before a panel of investors & entrepreneurs. Venture Network is unique in that it is a very informal gathering where startups can meet investors in a casual setting over beers and snacks and focus on what’s important: building relationships. Venture Network is a great way to perfect your pitch, get feedback on your product, and meet the local startup community.

Onmove is a mobility market place app that integrates all car&scoteer sharing operators fleet into one, allowing users to choose their best option in terms of TIME/MONEY/DISTANCE & TYPE OF VEHICLE. Onmove is ZeroEmissions and specialized into car&scooter sharing, so able to develop specific needs for a filter target (multi-users packages, special insurances, no car park required, etc…).
