Better together - Why Axel Springer and Porsche team up to find the best startups

Description

Sometimes, one can easily be under the impression that innovations only come from Silicon Valley. We are convinced: It’s high time to change this perception. That’s why we started APX, the joint accelerator program of Axel Springer Digital Ventures and Porsche Digital. At APX, we believe in Europe – as fertile soil for smart minds and great ideas, for innovation and growth. For us, Europe is the perfect hub for startups. Our mission is to identify fearless founding teams with ambitious digital ideas and global aspirations. We want to help early-stage startups to pick up speed and to accelerate their growth. Therefore, we invest in digital business models across industries and sectors, including lifestyle, mobility, travel, fintech, media, and healthcare. Another corporate accelerator, you think? Well, think again – at APX, we do things differently. First of all, we believe that real value lies in people, not in business models. That's why we support startups in the very beginning of their development, sometimes even before they enter the market. To follow this passion, we are willing to go great lengths - for example from Berlin to Helsinki to attend the Slush Festival in Northern Europe

Porsche - Give me five

The Porsche GT Team tackles the final round of the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC from pole position. Works driver Kévin Estre turned the fastest GTE-Pro-class lap in the final qualifying session for the eight-hour race on Bahrain International Circuit. For the Frenchman, this was the fifth pole position from the sixth event this year at the wheel of the No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR. Given that the 911 fielded by the customer team HubAuto Racing was the fastest vehicle in the hunt for top times at the highlight in Le Mans, the ca. 515 PS racer from Weissach remains unbeaten in qualifying for the entire 2021 season – a record in the history of the FIA WEC. The Italian Gianmaria Bruni set the third quickest time with the No. 91 car.

Porsche - A bitter end to a great race

The Porsche GT Team finished the last race of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in positions two and four. At the eight-hour race in Bahrain, the No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR driven by Kévin Estre (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Michael Christensen (Denmark) held a well-earned lead in a gripping final sprint to the flag and was on course for the title when a Ferrari shunted the Porsche into a spin. Race Control did not penalise the competitor. The identical ca. 515 PS sister car shared by Gianmaria Bruni from Italy, Richard Lietz from Austria and Frédéric Makowiecki from France concluded the sixth and final race of the season on fourth place in the GTE-Pro class. In the manufacturers’ classification, Porsche wrapped up the endurance season in second place. The customer teams Dempsey-Proton Racing and Project 1 notched up another success, each planting their 911 RSR on the podium in the GTE-Am category.
