The end of Accelerators as we know it. (en)

Yatan Blumenthal Vargas, Jörg Rheinboldt, Alexander Hafner The end
of Accelerators as we know it. Accelerators (think Y-Combinator,
Techstars, PlugnPlay etc) became a huge trend in the last few
years. Many big corporates (many through their marketing
departments) started their own, many vertical ones were
started.  After a few years of hype the trend seems to be
reversing. Some accelerators are closing down and others
consolidating into a few hands and methodologies.  We will
take a look at investment focused versus ecosystem focused
accelerators, different methodologies and whats important to know
to run a successful accelerator. Also how will accelerators look in
the future for corporates, for investors and for governments. Join
this interesting talk about the future of business.
