The third and final MME open call for startups and scaleups closed earlier this summer, with 51 finalized applications. The top 20 deep-tech innovators have been selected for the third support cycle and have started their MediaMotorEurope adventure. The chosen startups have been distributed across the four innovation hubs behind the MediaMotorEurope program: VRT, Media City Bergen, Sofia Knowledge City, and Thermi Group. This cycle, Media City Bergen has the pleasure to welcome Spectalix (Israel), Rumble Studio (France), Searchr (Latvia), Movi (Norway), and Circulr (Denmark) to the Bergen hub.
Each startup has been assigned a dedicated coach by their hub to help guide their path within the program. Nevertheless, every startup will benefit from the complete range of opportunities within the MME ecosystem. The coaches at Media City Bergen are looking forward to working with a truly exciting group of companies.
