Start-up Packmatisch (formerly EASY FOOD) now has another highlight to report after successfully completing batch #8 of the SCE Incubation Program (formerly SCE Start-up Certificate). Since the end of 2023, the team has been funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection as part of the EXIST program.

A new set of 42 companies has been selected to receive European Innovation Council (EIC) funding, combining grants and equity, following the final 2023 EIC Accelerator cut-off in November. Among them our SCE Start-up League Alumni Team Omegga who receives 2.4 million € from the European Commission. We congratulate the whole team to this incredible success.

A warm welcome to our new Batch #11 in the SCE Incubation Program! We look forward to supporting our start-ups over the next few months with a customized incubation program including coaching, incubator workspace, prototyping budget, workshops, access to experts and much more.
