Cross-border innovation fair in Metz
April 2016The second edition of “Startup Show 42”, a cross-border digital innovation fair, was held on 6 April in Metz on the fringes of the Franco-German Council of Ministers. Over forty startups from the Lorraine Corridor (Epinal, Nancy, Metz, Thionville) and the QuattroPole city network (Luxembourg, Metz, Saarbrücken, Trier) were there to present their know-how and latest innovations.
This involved over 1000 visitors, political figures, decision makers, business leaders, including experts and the uninitiated, coming together to forge links between the world of innovation and economic actors, notably around a dedicated networking space.
For Philippe Hénaux, head of multimedia services at the Metz municipal council, “it’s about giving a reality to a cross-border innovation space. A startup needs leverage, publicity, financing and new markets.”Organised within the framework of the LORnTECH project, the fair enables representation of all sectors of the economy, without borders!
