With UNITE, science, business and society are jointly creating a leading European, highly digital ecosystem for science-based startups and national and international entrepreneurial talent.

Unite – Amplifying  Startup Ecosystems

UNITE serves as the central hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in Berlin-Brandenburg. We bring together students, researchers, founders, universities, corporates, policymakers, and investors to create a dynamic and collaborative ecosystem. Our mission is to make the startup journey as straightforward as possible, enabling founders to focus on what they do best: building impactful companies.

Our Vision at UNITE

Our mission is to remove barriers and streamline the path from the spark of an idea to successful startup. By integrating science, business, and talent, we foster an environment where innovation thrives and entrepreneurship is accessible. We rethink startup support – from the first spark in the lecture hall to Series A funding. Our focus: AI, Health, and Greentech. Our promise: No more silos – we connect all players for a thriving ecosystem.
To reach this UNITE is tapping into the power of 250,000+ students, 30,000+ researchers, 25+ university and research partners, and 15+ early backers from business, investment, and society. 
UNITE is part of a strong alliance of top-notch startup factories supported by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy. This alliance will benefit Germany by utilising our regions&#8217; strengths and opportunities. Berlin and the capital region are the international lighthouse for talent, startups and investors. Connecting this with the high density of excellence in research and the potential of talent from the existing startup ecosystem will strengthen our region. It is a very strong basis to build upon – together.

The Future of UNITE

A graphic displays various numerical targets and statistics for achieving a 2030 goal.

The scene composition is a visual representation of interconnected data points.  The graphic displays various numerical targets and statistics, arranged in a way to suggest progress towards a specific goal.  Different colored circles and ovals are connected by lines to form a network or chain of related data points. The graphic uses a clear and concise layout to present information clearly. Numbers and labels are presented along with the connecting lines.

The key subjects are numerical figures, representing goals, progress, and projected outcomes.  These figures are 50k, 365, 60%, 3500, 500, and €500M. The figures are accompanied by labels, such as "patients," "leveraged capital," and "investors supported."  These labels clarify the context and application of the figures.

The artistic medium is data visualization.  The graphic employs a modern, minimalist design style. The layout is organized and visually appealing, making it easy for the viewer to identify and comprehend the various targets and numbers. Different colors are strategically used to highlight various data points. The use of a simple color scheme makes the information easy to read and understand. The font choices are clear and easy to read at a glance.

The setting is represented by the backdrop color, a soft lavender-purple tone. The lighting is evenly distributed, focusing attention on the visual hierarchy of the numbers and connections.  The overall atmosphere is one of professionalism, clarity, and progress. The graphic is a representation of a 2030 plan with a timeline of objectives, metrics, and expected results.
