FRAUNHOFER

GIPA is organized by Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt and the Cybersecurity center at the Hebrew Univerity of Jerusalem and connects one of Europe‘s leading research locations with Israel‘s vibrant start-up scene. GIPA is addressing students of computer science and engineering, and brings together top cybersecurity talents from Israel and Germany... If our prototypes convince the market, we are committed to developing them further into innovative products... We truly believe that startups can unlock human potential in an unrivalled way. However, only 2 percent of all companies emerging from top accelerators have a successful exit. The common failure: execution of a flawed plan. These companies spend months and months in planning, strategizing and writing comprehensive plans to convince everyone that their idea will work. Consequently, they are lacking time to interact with the customer, test their solution and experiment around it.
