Join our investor network


Apps for Europe invites you to be part of our investor network. The participants of the network will be connected to selected developers, start-ups and entrepreneurs who have a business idea, working prototype or are already running their own business based on open data. The first selection of these businesses will be done by the partners of the Apps for Europe consortium that are organizing open data events, competitions or hackathons. They have been active in the open data community for many years and have a good overview of individuals and team creating innovative services. Have a look at the current network here
