Marketing manager Pia Harlaß told 3DPrint.com at the time, “Our current plan is to set up facilities in the US later this year to provide a coloring service and have a show room with our systems for demonstrating our solutions to potential customers. We also just applied for the German Accelerator, a program for tech startups from Germany that want to come to the US. So if everything goes according to plan, we’ll be in San Francisco from August on. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.”
The funding program supports German technology startups and emerging companies with high potential, and offers financial support to help these companies make a successful entrance into the US market and scale business on a global level. It’s financed by, among other things, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, and allows the 18 competing startups to choose office space in either New York City or Silicon Valley. The German Accelerator Tech program has given over 100 German startups a good start in the US through valuable business connections, workshops and boot camps, support services and access to industry mentors for 3-9 months.
DyeMansion has chosen the High Technology Centre in Silicon Valley for its German Accelerator Tech program initial phase office space.“We are delighted to have the unique opportunity of getting to know Silicon Valley,” said Felix Ewald, DyeMansion CEO. “In addition to the many established start-ups, big corporations such as HP and BMW have their development labs there. The German Accelerator program will help us settle down quickly and hopefully make the first correct choices.”
The company will begin its anticipated US launch with a second official North American visit, to the RAPID + TCT event, held next week in Pittsburgh. Just like at AMUG, DyeMansion will be co-exhibiting with EOS North America at RAPID, and will be introducing the US version of its DM60 dyeing machine at the joint booth. Additionally, the company will be opening a second location in the US, hopefully sometime in the fall.
