These are the goals of our A² programme. WISTA Management GmbH organises the whole A² programme from A to Z, while our start-ups and industrial partners focus on their business. Just the way it should be.

- Because we have very good contacts to established companies.
- Because we have successfully organised several accelerator programmes.
- Because we are 100% neutral as a 100% subsidiary of the State of Berlin.

Our current A² Programme: Smart City 2019
Participants of the five-month A² programme will deal with all the critical issues specific to their product, their company, and their respective industry in thematic sessions. The programme strikes a careful balance between theory, practice and networking, ensuring that there is enough time to take care of everyday business. The programme aims at enabling participants to apply the learned know-how to their own product, or service, and to improve it continuously in cooperation with their mentors and industrial partners.
