The ultimate formula for a successful start-up consists of: Competence- + Trust + Fun! Our inspirational speakers shared some great insights like: It\u2018s always better to try out rather than not to try our your ideas. You CAN fail, the importance lays in remaining trustworthy. The day ended with a visit to Falcon X &#8211; THE Tech Incubator in Silicon Valley where FAU and local Start-ups got the chance to pitch their ideas followed by a dinner at an Italian Restaurants where we got introduced to many amazing entrepreneurial Silicon Valley personalities!<\/p>\n<div class=\"three-columns-one\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_648\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-648\" style=\"width: 1609px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-648 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1609\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan.png 1609w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Meyyapan-1235x690.png 1235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1609px) 100vw, 1609px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-648\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keynote-Speaker Dr. Meyyappan &#8211; Chief scientist at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"three-columns-one\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-645 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1478\" height=\"1108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1.jpg 1478w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1-920x690.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-1-790x593.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1478px) 100vw, 1478px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px\">Welcome of the CEO of Falcon X<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"three-columns-one last\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-646\" style=\"width: 1478px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-646 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1478\" height=\"1108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2.jpg 1478w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2-920x690.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/0-2-790x593.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1478px) 100vw, 1478px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Start-Up pitches from our participants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elements-divider\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-642\" style=\"width: 1478px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1478\" height=\"905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157.jpg 1478w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157-1024x627.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gp.dta.fau.de\/files\/2019\/10\/Falcon-X-e1571146002157-1127x690.jpg 1127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1478px) 100vw, 1478px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Falcon X &#8211; THE Tech Incubator at Silicon Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-group\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-heading\"><button class=\"accordion-toggle\" data-toggle=\"collapse\"  href=\"#collapse_8\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse_8\" id=\"collapse_button_8\"> Day 03 - Fall School 2019 <\/button><\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse_8\" class=\"accordion-body\" aria-labelledby=\"collapse_button_8\">\n<div class=\"accordion-inner clearfix\">\n<p>On the third day, leading AI and Ex-Google senior manager Ajay Malik inspired our participants with the latest opportunities in AI and Quantum Computing.
