Every year, the EIT Digital Challenge honors the best European startups in five categories. This year, Munich-based startup Cleverciti Systems can count itself among the lucky winners. In addition to a \u20ac50,000 cash prize, the company will also receive a one-year membership in the EIT Digital Accelerator worth \u20ac50,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Winner of the Munich Startup Award 2016<\/a>, Cleverciti Systems, can also celebrate first place in the 'Best Digital Cities Scaleup' category at the EIT Digital Challenge.<\/p>\n

"We congratulate Cleverciti, who have prevailed against very strong competition from across Europe. [\u2026] The search traffic that Cleverciti has declared war on is a huge problem for inner cities. Not only does it increase the car journey time, but it also causes an estimated 1.3 kg of CO2 emissions per parking search,"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

commented Dominik Krabbe<\/strong>, Head of the EIT Digital Challenge, on the Munich-based startup's win. To successfully apply for the EIT Digital Challenge, the scaleups had to be headquartered within the EU and have a minimum turnover of \u20ac300,000 in 2016. They also had to be less than 10 years old.<\/p>\n

Increased focus on growth and sales<\/h3>\n

The Munich startup Cleverciti Systems<\/a> Founded in 2012, the company, which employs nearly 40 people, has developed a sensor technology that displays available parking spaces and also reduces search traffic and environmental pollution. The patent-pending Cleverciti sensors from the company, which was founded in 2012, scan the parking spaces along the streets every second and send real-time occupancy data to parking operators and drivers.<\/p>\n

"So far we have set up 38 installations in 20 different countries<\/em>\u201c,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

says Maximilian Venhofen<\/strong>, Director of Business Development at Cleverciti. He continues:<\/p>\n

"Acquiring customers and building a business in different countries requires a lot of resources. With the support of the EIT Digital Accelerator, we now have the opportunity to accelerate our international growth and sales efforts.<\/em>."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Membership in the EIT Digital Accelerator<\/h3>\n

The win brings Cleverciti Systems a cash prize and a one-year membership in the EIT Digital Accelerator<\/a>The EIT Digital Accelerator consists of a team of 40 business developers and finance experts operating from 13 different countries across Europe, including one office in Silicon Valley. Since 2012, they have supported a total of 260 scaleups in entering new markets and raising over \u20ac90 million in venture capital. The total investment volume of all accelerator alumni is almost \u20ac300 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
