what is it?
SOON!
Alsace needed a digital hub, and so KMØ was born! Different organisations in the region (including Rhénatic, an Alsace business association) came together to develop the local digital economy.
It’s essential to gather together to express your ideas and be heard. The KMØ represents a real opportunity to develop projects, startups and companies.
community support
The SEMIA community is composed to alumni, patrons, experts, volunteers, academic resources, public actors (BPI, the Région Grand Est, Alsace Innovation…) This community is engaged and accessible to help your project succeed.
