The German bureaucratic system is well-known for its strict and complex procedures and for its high-level language. A German StartUp founded by three Syrians is aiming to disrupt the German bureaucratic system with an app. Their technology will support newcomers and even locals, to understand complicated procedures with ease. The app is available in three languages: Arabic, English and German.
The three Syrians are working hand-in-hand with local authorities to make a business case in Berlin, Germany, one of the toughest cities when it comes to paperwork. It can be scaled up throughout the country afterward.
