WHO WE ARE

As incubator of the EDAG Group, trive.me leads the fast and digital transformation through new ideas, technologies and services for future mobility and cities

#Powerhouse of Ideas #start-up Accelerator #Strategy Development #Fast Product Evaluation

As the EDAG incubator, trive.me is a provider of best in class technology expertise and innovation progress. In our project house, product owners and consultants coordinate and plan cooperation with technology experts and start-ups in promising markets such as Smart City. In this process, USPs are identified for EDAG and startups to optimize business and participation models.

WHY WE DO IT

No Time for Hidden Champions

The model of the German middle class is unique in the world.

For a long time, success story of the often owner-managed and traditional companies was to develop an outstanding product in a niche ... and optimize it with processes, scaling then took place via globalization. But different rules apply in the digital age. Network effects now play a major role and the principle often applies: “The winner takes it all”. Size matters, and global visibility means that a niche doesn't go undiscovered long enough for small businesses to create a great solution.

Collaboration is the key to success!
