Scouting

We are looking for cutting-edge start-ups


Start-up  Scouting

Our Scouting Project was launched in 2021 with the aim of mapping companies with innovative products and services while enabling the improvement of traditional banking services. The project evolved into a proper Start-up Scouting Platform that aims to identify and underline emerging trends and start-ups with high added value for the business areas of the Sparkasse Group and its corporate clients.
