The Startup Incubator Berlin started its new support program EXIST Women with a batch of ten impressive female founders which had been selected at the Pitch Night in January. Their startup ideas range from AI solutions, Tunesian product imports, high-end e-commerce or SAAS solutions up to a health app and an institute focusing on diversity management.

We are proud to have strong partners with the Berliner Sparkasse and WLounge as well as the Business Angel Club Berlin Brandenburg e.V. to support us with the program. In addition, we collaborate with other universities in Berlin and share our events and workshops for female founders.

To extend our support beyond our participants in the EXIST Women programm, we dedicate our two-week Lean Startup Sprint (February 20th – March 1st, 2024) to future female founders and host a female-only edition. The free program includes several workshops, coaching, peer learning and a UX-Testing. You will learn all about prototyping, marketing and branding, “Attitude as a Super Power” or financial planning.

All female founders out there are very much invited to join our network! Register for the free Lean Startup Sprint right away:

Federal Funding for the Expansion of Startup Culture at the Berlin School of Economics and Law

For the first time, the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin) receives federal funding through the EXIST programme to expand its successful startup activities. The university strengthens its profile as an entrepreneurship hub.

At the Gründungsradar 2018 of the Stifterverband der deutschen Wissenschaft, HWR Berlin emerged as one of the best universities of applied sciences in Germany. The university is now receiving financial support from the EXIST funding programme of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi) to further develop its startup network.

“We are very pleased about the approval of the subsidies and are taking advantage of the opportunity that the EXIST programme / potentials offer us within the framework of the EXIST startup culture programme to sharpen the profile of our entrepreneurial activities,” says Christian Gurol, Head of Startup Incubator Berlin, the startup centre of HWR Berlin. In the six-month concept phase, four defined fields of work will be prepared with targeted measures to promote startups, before these are then implemented in the project phase.

Gurol foremost sees strength and potential in entrepreneurship education, the university as Startup Incubator and in active relations to Berlin’s economy and international partners. The entrepreneurship network of the university relies on

• the establishment of an international entrepreneurship campus as a contact point for international and internationally-oriented students,
• the integration of incubation and education with the aim of further developing common methods and offers of teaching and startup support,
• to expand the cooperation network sustainably, to develop partnerships with the regional economy quantitatively and qualitatively, and
• economic sustainability by developing a business model for entrepreneurship activities.

“The Berlin School of Economics and Law has continuously promoted entrepreneurship education and thinking in all areas of study and research over the past 18 years,” emphasises Prof. Dr. Sven Ripsas. The professor for entrepreneurship at HWR Berlin refers to the successful founding centre of the university, which was repositioned five years ago and aligned with the lean startup principle. Two years ago, the new startup campus of the Startup Incubator Berlin opened at the Siemens AG site in Berlin. In cooperation with established companies and the BIT6 network of Berlin’s universities of applied sciences, an important innovation centre has been created in the founding capital.

Prof. Dr. Andreas Zaby, president of HWR Berlin, says: “Our students and our teachers benefit from the spirit of entrepreneurial thinking in all areas of practice-oriented teaching and research at HWR Berlin. We create the framework to enable creative startup teams to develop together with established companies and thus offer a focal point for knowledge transfer between universities and industry,” says Zaby.
