Amplify Our Startup Ecosystem
The more than 50 partners from science, business, politics and society share one vision for UNITE: to create an internationally leading innovation and startup center in Berlin-Brandenburg. In future, a science-based startup is expected to emerge every day. To achieve this, over 50,000 entrepreneurial talents will be trained every year, digital structures will ensure even better networking and entrepreneurial structures will underpin the commitment to speed and risk-taking.
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.
