For the first time, Konnect hosted a live Startup stage at IZB- the biggest supplier’s exhibition of VW Group, attended by 42,000 people. On stage, Dr. Astrid Wollenberg presented the unique open innovation model of Konnect and invited six incredible Israeli startups who work closely with Konnect. The team was also proud to visit one of its successful innovation projects with Apollo– a great example of a startup that became a direct supplier of VW Group brands.
