Top 5 Start-Up in Bicycle Industry
"This innovation of a split belt, which is also suitable for retrofitting, represents true progress if the operating principle proves to be successful. It eliminates the drawback of having to modify the frame in order to change the belt, while retaining the already familiar advantages of the belt drive."
- Statement by the EUROBIKE Start-Up Award judges
Veer was amongst 74 young companies competing for the EUROBIKE Start-Up Award. The number of product ideas brought to the table showcased the innovative growth of the bicycle world.
While preparing for the journey to Europe, we received the grand news that we were selected with 19 other companies tas finalists for the Start-Up category. Each company was provided three minutes to pitch their ideas in the Foyer East at Messe Friedrichshafen. The audience was open to trade visitors, panel of expert judges, and also to the general public.
The companies brought a wildly broad spectrum of bicycle components, clothing, interactive games, and more! We felt honored to be amongst such a growing and dedicated group of people. The night before the event, after all pitches were given, the judges released the top 5 companies of the group... and we were amongst the 5!
