The Pioneering Spirit of Silicon Valley with ABC and EDG

ABC has established an active presence in Silicon Valley, because when it comes to innovation there is a special kind of magic in this place. Over one half of the startup venture funding in the U.S. goes into this small region, and over one quarter of the global venture funding. This attracts investors and startups from all around the world.

ABC and its partner EDG are joining forces and bringing Silicon Valley’s best innovation practices and tools to the most innovative and forward thinking companies in Germany.

Welcome to the Hyper-Digital Era

We’re living at an extraordinary moment of time. During the Digital Era of the past 30 years, every industry has become social, mobile, and global. With the arrival of Sensors, Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), AI (artificial intelligence), Machine Learning, 3-D printing, and Robotics, we are moving rapidly into a new Hyper-Digital Era. Every industry is becoming smart and connected, and companies that do not adapt are rapidly falling behind.

Business leaders are rightfully asking: What disruptions are coming and where can we do the disrupting? Where are the big, open fields of opportunity where no company is the recognized leader yet? All industries are once again being transformed – and at speed that will require enlightened foresight and the capacity to rapidly innovate at all levels of the enterprise. This provides visionary business leaders with the opportunity to do what it takes and to ensure that their companies will be the leaders in the next generation of their industries.

In celebration of ABC's strategic partnership with Silicon Valley based Enterprise Development Group (EDG),
