We are shaping the innovation landscape of tomorrow
Scientific ideas have an impact where they are applied. That is why we bring stakeholders together and create the conditions for research to translate into marketable solutions – in collaboration with businesses, academia and policymakers.
As a catalyst for deep tech innovation in Berlin, we connect science, business and politics at key locations for the future, such as the Adlershof Technology Park, CHIC and the emerging FUBIC. These are places where exchange, collaboration and scaling take place.
The major transformation tasks of our time – from climate protection and the energy transition to digital technologies and the healthcare industry – require joint action. We initiate, structure and support this interaction so that innovation has a lasting impact.
Berlin is a leading location for technology-driven innovation. With a focus on technology, talent and tolerance, we strengthen this ecosystem – collaboratively, for the long term and with the aim of translating research into progress.
