Issue 03/2024 | Berlin remains Startup Capital - The resilience of Berlin's founders

Schoenefeld, March 6, 2024

Dear readers,

Berlin continues to be a shining example of the vitality of the startup scene, even if the latest investment figures are subject to a dynamic development. Despite a decline in overall investment, particularly in Berlin, the metropolitan region proudly maintains its top position in the German startup landscape in the new Ernst & Young (EY) Startup Barometer.

But what lies behind these numbers? Read the full article to find out how Berlin's entrepreneurial spirit is thriving despite adverse conditions - see article below.

In this newsletter, you can also read about the space anniversary of the DLR camera on Mars, how efficient waste management in a big city can succeed with AI, and how deep tech "Oscar" will revolutionize care.

As always, you can find more news and success stories from the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport Region on our website.

Best regards,

The Berlin Brandenburg Airport Region Team
