Hi I read it. Nice idea.

Feedback: coming from where you stand in the eco-system, it would be great to jump straight into “the stuff one might not find out about elsewhere” about Germany after a brief intro. e.g. I liked the slide about Fintech in the appendix as it shows its strength in DE. but you could also add other Healthcare and other centres of excellence. Links between Automotive and startups are stronger than in other countries, and one could highlight innovation in these areas.

TechCityUK published a report end of ’15 about which regions in the UK were strong in various areas of technology (not just startups), e.g. Cheltenham in intelligence (GCHQ), Bristol in video/graphics. Scotland in gaming. They attract real talent to these areas which is unique to these regions.
One could do the same thing for München, Düsseldorf, Hamburg.. usw. highlighting the potential cooperation / synergies for the future.

I also feel University cooperation with tech is a strength of Germany. TU, WHU, …
