SXSW 2023 took place from March 10 to 19. Like every year, of course, it was held in sunny Austin, Texas. And also this year, the Digital Hub Initiative<\/a> was represented at the German Haus and the German Pavilion. There were 23 MediaTech whose focus was on topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality\/ Augmented Reality \/ Mixed Reality, Internet of Things and other topics around MediaTech. Among them were the teams from the MediaTech Hub Accelerator freispace<\/a>, Freque<\/a>, Klangchat<\/a>, Sensit!<\/a> and yoona.ai<\/a> as well as filmwerte<\/a>, Volucap<\/a>, Vragments<\/a> and ZAUBAR<\/a> from the cosmos of the MediaTech Hub Potsdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off at the German Haus was the “German Start-Up Night”, organized by the Digital Hub Initiative together with the German Accelerator<\/a>, Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg International<\/a>, Berlin Partner<\/a>, Saaris<\/a>, the Bavarian Foreign Representative Office USA<\/a>, the City of Munich<\/a> and the Ministry of Economic Affairs Rhineland-Palatinate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the German Pavilion gave teams the opportunity to introduce themselves to interested parties and present their innovative ideas. The German Pavilion was opened by Marco-Alexander Breit from the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action<\/a>, Axel Dittman, Deputy Chief of Mission German Embassy Washington, Ben Drake, Director General “Digital- and Data-Policy” German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure<\/a>, and Tina Sikorski, CEO of Initiative Musik<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, SXSW 2023 was again a very exciting event, where many impressions could be gathered and contacts could be made. We would like to thank the Digital Hub Initiative as well as rckt<\/a>, GTAI<\/a>, German Haus and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action for the organization and the opportunity to be present at SXSW again this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
