Southeast Europe Startup Report 2017 SOUTH-EAST EUROPE STARTUP REPORT 2017 | page 1 SOUTHEAST EUROPE STARTUP REPORT 2017 2017 Copyright ©ABC Accelerator SOUTH-EAST EUROPE STARTUP REPORT 2017 | page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The startup ecosystem in Southeast Europe (SEE) is alive and well. In all eight countries of the region, there are startups, supporting institutions, interesting technology, and founders with an ambitious mindset believing that even in this part of Europe, globally successful companies can be created. In 2017, there was evidence that this is indeed the case. Outfit7, a family-entertainment company with Slovenian founders and pioneer in the field of digital entertainment, has been sold for 1 billion USD to a Chinese investor in January, thus becoming the first unicorn in the region. It might not be the last – companies like Celtra (SLO), Rimac (CRO), NSoft (Bih) and Nordeus (SRB) are increasing their valua- tions fast, joining partnerships with high-profile corporations, and planning for potential IPO’s. These companies also act as focal points in their local communities/ecosystems. Inspired by Norde- us’s success, a nascent mobile gaming industry has started to develop in Belgrade, Serbia. Similarly, NSoft is supporting the development of the local startup ecosystem in BiH. Zemanta, pioneers in dig- ital marketing, has arguably spurred the development of the whole startup community in Ljubljana, Slovenia, after its establishment a decade ago. In addition to providing direct support, these compa- nies have motivated and inspired an entire generation of entrepreneurs, and promoted startups as a potential career choice to young professionals with global ambitions. These startup pioneers are still guiding the way forward. Zemanta has been acquired by the global leader in its industry, Outbrain from Israel. Additionally, Rimac has raised money from its most important partner, the global leader in electric battery supplies from China, which is also its potential exit partner. Frame (SRB) has raised a 16 million USD round from Bain capital and Microsoft. Partnering with the global leaders is their strategy to succeed – and to exit. Successful exits seem to be the next step in the development of the local ecosystem and its leading companies. These will help spawning the next generation of the regional startups. When suc- cessful, an exit can bring new strategic partners, significant amounts of new money, forming the basis for the next round of investments, and experienced founders that want to repeat their success story. The next generation of startups in the region will be more experienced, better funded, and faster. They will aim for global success from their inception. A series of successful Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) by this new generation of Slovenian startups has raised more funding in 2017 than the total com- bined value of public financial support in the whole region – in the last decade. These startups are now among the global tech leaders and have turned Slovenia into hub for blockchain technologies, and example for ICO startups in the SEE region. Other industries are sometimes less well known, but no less funded or ambitious. Seven Bridges (SRB) is a three-time Bio-IT World Best of Show winner that has raised 50 million USD to transform biomedical data companies, and Genialis (SLO) follows in similar footsteps. While the regional startups’ ambition and potential are not in doubt, they could use more support. Regional governments are often unable to support these financially or simply lack knowledge about how to do it best. Moreover, the lack of equity (the ‘equity gap’) for seed- and early-stage financing is especially detrimental for the development of regional startups and impacts their survival rate. Additionally, the lack of national cooperation is worsened with significant obstacles to travel, especially in terms of visa requirements. Most importantly, however, The founders of the first potential founders in the region need to believe that they can create SEE unicorn come from Slovenia globally successful companies – and convince others to follow them on their path. Recent successes are the best growth drivers the SEE region could hope for. 2017 Copyright ©ABC Accelerator SOUTH-EAST EUROPE STARTUP REPORT 2017 | page 3 CONTENTS 1. Foreword 5 7.8 Albania 65 2.

The Impact of Group Dynamics on Idea Inclusion in Team Meetings Tobias Schlachtbauer, M.Sc. Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Informatik der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigten Dissertation.

Prof. Dr. Michael Schermann Die Dissertation wurde am 24.05.2018 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Informatik am 26.09.2018 angenommen. Abstract I Abstract Motivation: Working in teams on solving complex tasks, including software development or service design, is common in today’s organizations. All these tasks require some creativity. This is especially true if the creation of innovative solutions to a problem is required. On the one hand, research findings suggest that teams are preferable to individuals for solving problems because the diverse points of view might spark more creative solutions. On the other hand, groups are found being prone to detrimental behaviors like groupthink or choosing not the best design. The disadvantages of groups are often attributed to misunderstandings due to the divers disciplinary or cultural background of the team members. Yet, other issues might be at play that leads to situations in which a team does not realize the full potential of the individual team members. Research Method: Our study combines ethnographic observation with grounded theory to investigate how proposed solutions for an assigned design problem evolve over the course of a project.

The effort I have sustained for many years has been first of all for myself, to satisfy my desire to learn and improve all the time, but it has also been for my fifteen year old son Rodrigo, who is building his life and to whom I wish the power of remaining always curious, hungry for knowledge, and capable of working hard and sacrificing for his dreams. I could have not been able to reach this doctorate without the support of my family: my mother, for having being present all the time I needed to be away, my sister, for showing me how to undertake continuous learning challenges and, above all, my beloved husband to whom I owe most of what I know and for dreaming with me endlessly.

  • The Startup Factories. the Rise of Accelerator Programmes
    Discussion paper: June 2011 The Startup Factories The rise of accelerator programmes to support new technology ventures Paul Miller and Kirsten Bound NESTA is the UK’s foremost independent expert on how innovation can solve some of the country’s major economic and social challenges. Its work is enabled by an endowment, funded by the National Lottery, and it operates at no cost to the government or taxpayer. NESTA is a world leader in its field and carries out its work through a blend of experimental programmes, analytical research and investment in early- stage companies. www.nesta.org.uk Executive summary Over the past six years, a new method of incubating technology startups has emerged, driven by investors and successful tech entrepreneurs: the accelerator programme. Despite growing interest in the model from the investment, business education and policy communities, there have been few attempts at formal analysis.1 This report is a first step towards a more informed critique of the phenomenon, as part of a broader effort among both public and private sectors to understand how to better support the growth of innovative startups. The accelerator programme model comprises five main features. The combination of these sets it apart from other approaches to investment or business incubation: • An application process that is open to all, yet highly competitive. • Provision of pre-seed investment, usually in exchange for equity. • A focus on small teams not individual founders. • Time-limited support comprising programmed events and intensive mentoring. • Cohorts or ‘classes’ of startups rather than individual companies. The number of accelerator programmes has grown rapidly in the US over the past few years and there are signs that more recently, the trend is being replicated in Europe.

  • Social Media Types: Introducing a Data Driven Taxonomy
    Social Media Types: Introducing a Data Driven Taxonomy Paraskevas Koukaras, Christos Tjortjis, Dimitrios Rousidis School of Science and Technology, International Hellenic University GR-570 01 Thermi, Thessaloniki, Greece {p.koukaras, c.tjortjis, d.rousidis}@ihu.edu.gr Abstract: Social Media (SM) have been established as multifunctional networking tools that tend to offer an increasingly wider variety of services, making it difficult to determine their core purpose and mission, therefore, their type. This paper assesses this evolution of Social Media Types (SMTs), presents, and evaluates a novel hypothesis-based data driven methodology for analyzing Social Media Platforms (SMPs) and categorizing SMTs. We review and update literature regarding the categorization of SMPs, based on their services. We develop a methodology to propose and evaluate a new taxonomy, comprising: i) the hypothesis that the number of SMTs is smaller than what current literature suggests, ii) observations on data regarding SM usage and iii) experimentation using association rules and clustering algorithms. As a result, we propose three (3) SMTs, namely Social, Entertainment and Profiling networks, typically capturing emerging SMP services. Our results show that our hypothesis is validated by implementing our methodology and we discuss threats to validity. Keywords Social Media, Social Media Types, Social Media Sites, Social Media Platforms, Social Networking, Data mining, Clustering, Association Rules. Abbreviations Social Media (SM), Social Media Type (SMT), Social Media Platform (SMP), Social Networks (SN) 1 1. Introduction People around the world use Social Media (SM) to communicate, connect and interact with other users, sharing and propagating information at a great rate [1]. SM facilitate sharing information, ideas, interests and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks [4].
