On March 22, 2019, the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller, Siemens Board Member Cedrik Neike, the CEO of Siemens Real Estate, Dr. Zsolt Sluitner, and the President of the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin), Prof. Dr. Andreas Zaby, inaugurate the A32 Entrepreneurs Forum Berlin Siemensstadt. The transformation of Siemensstadt into a new ecosystem connecting industry, startups, science, and research is taking shape.
Two years ago, the Berlin School of Economics and Law opened a new location for the Startup Incubator Berlin — the entrepreneurship center of HWR Berlin — on the corporate campus in Berlin-Siemensstadt. HWR Berlin and Siemens AG jointly created a network platform for the Berlin business community and startups to promote entrepreneurial thinking, providing space for the development of innovative business models and new approaches to current economic challenges.
In a former factory hall, the A32 Entrepreneurs Forum Berlin Siemensstadt was created — an entrepreneurship hub with modern co-working spaces, a large event area, laboratory, and workshop. Through fruitful cooperation between the Berlin business community, the Startup Incubator Berlin, and the other founding centers of Berlin’s universities of applied sciences united in the BIT6 network, key entrepreneurship activities from the academic environment are now concentrated in this forward-looking innovation center of Germany’s startup capital.
