THE HINTERLAND ALLIANCE

With our “Hinterland Allianz” – Hinterland Alliance – launched in 2019, we get the top players of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region together in a unique network.

This includes strong partners from the local Mittelstand: Dr. Oetker, Miele, Claas, Böllhoff, Goldbeck, Wago, Phönix Contact, PWC and Schüco.

Via international connections, giants such as Slack, Facebook, Google, Amazon and the Startup Nation Central from Israel rank among the participants in this unique network.

The Hinterland Alliance is a strong pillar of our B2B startup ecosystem. It offers its members a platform for innovative discussion and exchange.

GOAL

Networking and shared discussion about innovative solutions.

TARGET GROUP

Mittelstand companies which want to drive innovation and forge alliances.

ACTIVITIES

Various networking events such as the “Hinterland Hack”. The definitive highlight is the annual Hinterland conference.

Alliance Partners

In our Hinterland Alliance, we get strong local partners together. This inclues:

Hinterland Hack

Innovation Meets Mittelstand

The established Mittelstand companies of our alliance are faced with the challenges of digital transformation which must be solved.

We are convinced that almost every problem in the industry can be solved through digital and creative means. For that reason, we host the “Hinterland Hack” hackathon once a year where companies present 6 challenges based on real and current business problems. The participants are called to solve these problems innovatively and with the help of technology within 48 hours.

Together with our Hinterland Alliance members, the participants have solved one or the other seemingly impossible challenge during past Hinterland Hacks.

Save the Date

The next Hinterland Hack will take place from 17 to 19 September 2021.

You have an entrepreneurial mindset? You are doer and you want to build a startup that solves real problems of the industry? Then apply for the Hinterland Hack. The winning team will receive a prize of 5.000 EUR.
