Overview

Hands On Data (HOD) brings together start-ups and corporations to co-create the future of B2B data in Germany's Ruhr area, one of Europe's most important industrial regions. For more than 100 years the Ruhr area's coal and steel industry has attracted millions of workers from all over the world, laying the foundation of what today is one of the largest urban areas in Europe. What once was coal, is now data - the industrial heritage of the Ruhr area leaves a remarkable amount of industry and B2B data ready to be used in innovative data-driven solutions. If you're an established company HOD will connect you with the right start-up to build these solutions. If you're a start-up with data expertise HOD will give you access to unique data sets of leading companies in the Ruhr area. HOD is a program by the Gründerallianz Ruhr (www.gruenderallianz.ruhr) and operated by BRYCK GmbH & Co. KG (www.bryck.com) on behalf of Initiativkreis Ruhr GmbH (www.initiativkreis.ruhr).
