Google and TechHub today announced their global partnership, bringing more opportunities to TechHub's over 700 tech startups around the world.

TechHub, the global community for tech entrepreneurs, announced that their partnership with Google for entrepreneurs will benefit startups from India for the first time.

Google supports TechHub's work to help hundreds of tech companies scale up their businesses. Now TechHub members in Bengaluru, other TechHub locations of Riga and Bucharest, plus Madrid, Warsaw and London will have access to programmes and assistance from Google, including Google mentors, the Google for Entrepreneurs international demo days, GFE Exchange and Google Cloud Platform credits for qualifying startups.

"We are excited to bring this partnership to India to increase TechHub's support to Indian startups. In Bangalore we see a huge variety of startups creating innovative products, and we want to help them succeed both in India and all around the world. TechHub and Google for Entrepreneurs is a strong partnership that will empower Indian entrepreneurs to go global from the very beginning," Elizabeth Varley, TechHub's global Co-founder and CEO.

TechHub's community is global: members hail from 60+ countries and every member can access Googlers in six international cities. TechHub membership gives each entrepreneur access to every TechHub in the world and all the programmes and opportunities available there including flagship events like Startup Funeral, and the monthly TechHubTuesday Demo Night.

Around a third of members' base their teams full time in one of TechHub's spaces, with the majority of members accessing the benefits of TechHub through its rich programme designed to help startups face the challenges of building and growing a global tech company.

David Grunwald, Google for Entrepreneurs' Head of EMEA Partnerships said: "We are excited to expand our work with TechHub beyond Google for Entrepreneurs's Campus network, where we have collaborated successfully over a number of years. TechHub's 'community first' values and their focus on supporting founders and startups with education and programs align perfectly with the goals of Google for Entrepreneurs."

TechHub was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Elizabeth Varley and Mike Butcher of TechCrunch Europe, and is led by Elizabeth as CEO and Andrew Tibbitts as COO. Headquartered in London with its nine floors of startups in Shoreditch, TechHub members have access to a global startup community in seven tech cities: Bengaluru, Bucharest, London, Madrid, Riga, Swansea and Warsaw with more to come.
