Our Story

We build Startup Ecosystems

We bring a powerful network of more than 650 startups together with more than 30 corporate partners including investors, universities and political institutions to build an ecosystem for collaborative digital innovation.

From our home base in the heart of Frankfurt, our team co-creates and hosts more than 100 events and startup programs per year. These take place both virtually and in our large coworking and event space.

We design our ecosystem activities with socially relevant industry and emerging technology trends.

We are the bridge that connects established companies with a dynamic startup scene. As the ecosystem manager of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region, we are supporting the growth of a closer regional network and championing local startup initiatives.

We are also the FinTech Hub Frankfurt and part of the nationwide de:hub initiative, which maintains a strong network with more than 25 international startups and tech hubs.
