As he did in 2024 and 2025, Ulrich Dietz once again supported the Up2B accelerator program for B2B startups this year as an Up2B mentor. More than a dozen startups had registered for this year’s workshop at the Business Development Center of the Heidelberg Technology Park. Ulrich Dietz’s presentation this year included an introduction to the German market, with a special focus on the unique characteristics of German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the German dual education system—whose advantages and strengths are still far too little known on the international stage. The session concluded with a discussion and Q&A session with the participants.

All the best to the international participants in the German market! And thanks to the up2B team for this repeated invitation!
