Supported by 50 partners from science, business, politics and society, UNITE offers additional start-up services that will significantly increase the number and quality of science-based start-ups in Berlin-Brandenburg. A high degree of digitalization ensures the resource-efficient mobilization of entrepreneurial talent, innovation and start-up potential of the partners, efficient networking of all stakeholders and data-driven further development of the Berlin-Brandenburg start-up region.

Entrepreneurial structures underpin the demand for speed, a willingness to take risks and the creation of scope for development. Internationality, diversity and entrepreneurial responsibility are drivers and success factors.

UNITE's business model is based on entrepreneurial structures (public-private partnership) that enable agile governance and efficient decision-making structures.

In the conception phase of UNITE, the partners jointly develop offers in seven UNITs: Talents, Education, Programs, Funding, Infrastructure, Marketing and Think Tank. The UNITs will be aligned with thematic innovation and start-up domains (e.g. AI, Health, GreenTech). In all domains, Berlin-Brandenburg already has structures and offerings that can be built upon.
