Studienstart ist zum Wintersemester am 1. Oktober, Bewerbungsschluss ist der 15. Juli. Wer im Herbst durchstarten will, sollte die nächsten Wochen nutzen.

Ein Studium, das Gründen zum Programm macht

Der Bachelor Entrepreneurship ist ein grundständiger Studiengang der HWR Berlin (Fachbereich 1 Wirtschaftswissenschaften): sieben Semester, 210 ECTS, Vollzeit, auf Deutsch und Englisch. Das Besondere: Du lernst nicht nur, wie Unternehmen funktionieren – du lernst, sie zu gründen, zu verändern und weiterzuentwickeln.

Das fünfte Semester ist ein Praxissemester – in einem Unternehmen, in einem Startup oder im eigenen Vorhaben. Studiengebühren fallen keine an, nur der Semesterbeitrag.

Girls’ Day at the Startup Incubator Berlin

This year, the Startup Incubator Berlin, the founding center of HWR Berlin, is once again hosting a Girls’ Day!

This year’s theme is:

How do I become an entrepreneur & how does prototyping work via 3D scan & printing?

After the welcome, we’ll kick things off with a Design Thinking workshop. Your task will be to develop a prototype. The theme is: “Design a phone holder” (one that doesn’t exist yet). Afterwards, you will “produce” your product in clay in our workshop and learn the basics of 3D scanning and 3D printing. You will also find out how to best plan the founding of your own company and have the opportunity to meet our female founders from the program.

We will send your clay product to you later as a 3D print. This will take approximately 4 weeks.

We have 8 spots available for participants aged 14 and up. Register at:

We look forward to a productive day.

The Startup Incubator Berlin has launched a new funding program: EXIST Women. This is a 12-month qualification program including a 3-month scholarship, aimed exclusively at women interested in founding a business. Graduates, researchers, and students who are interested in entrepreneurship can apply. Applications as a team are very welcome! Participation is also possible part-time alongside employment or studies.

The goal of the program is to increase the proportion of women founding businesses in Germany and to offer women the opportunity in an early-stage program to validate and further develop their startup idea. Women with a strong entrepreneurial spirit who do not yet have a fully developed idea but would like to learn more about entrepreneurship are also welcome to apply. A suitable coaching and workshop program is integrated into Exist Women.

Our task is to support women in their endeavors. Within the program, we offer them a co-working space, various labs for building prototypes including materials, workshops, and relevant events. The application is a short form and the application deadline is January 7, 2024. After a short period, an initial selection round will take place and selected women will be invited to a short pitch on January 18, 2024 before a jury and audience. In the first batch, 10 women will be selected; the decision will be made directly after the pitch based on an evaluation matrix.

The program then begins on January 26, 2024 with a networking breakfast to get to know each other and to connect with potential mentors. We are grateful for the support of Berliner Sparkasse, WLounge, and the Business Angel Club Berlin Brandenburg e.V. in shaping the offering for participants.

Empowering the next generation of female leaders!

As part of the HWR activities, we participated in Girls Day to give girls in grades 7–10 the opportunity to discover entrepreneurship as a career path. But there were also many other great insights into HWR’s fields of study, such as civil engineering and senior police service. It was a fantastic event across all departments.

Female Founders: Inspiration for the Path as an Entrepreneur

At the Startup Incubator Berlin of HWR Berlin (SIB), further students were guided through a dedicated program. The motto was: “Future own business: Ideas and inspiration for future female founders.”

The participants were warmly welcomed at Rohrdamm and were able to showcase their creativity right from the start by brainstorming the meaning of entrepreneurship. They quickly realized that entrepreneurship knows no boundaries and that women can implement creative ideas and become self-employed in any field. After a tour of the SIB premises, the group headed together to the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology.

The highlight of the day was the Innovation Venture Day, where a number of startups presented their ideas. The girls had the opportunity to meet successful female founders who shared their very personal experiences as entrepreneurs and encouraged them to take paths that no one has taken before. What all the students learned: being an entrepreneur means being bold.

On December 15, 2022, we hosted the last event of the year 2022 – UX-MAS – together with our friends from the BHT Startup Hub and  Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin. It was a successful event, joining forces from these three universities to bring 12 startup teams on stage for a UX Testing of their products and ideas, to invite the Berlin startup ecoysytem for networking, to celebrate the successful year and to say thank you to our management – Elli from BHT Startup Hub, Sarah and Daniel from HTW InnoTechHub, Matthias and Marvin from the HWR Startup Incubator Berlin.

This past year alone, the three universities of applied sciences in Berlin supported an impressive number of 79 startups in 4 different incubation and acceleration programs! And many more to come next year…

We were also very grateful that we had the chance to collect donations for the Berliner Krebsgesellschaft through a charity bazar. Special thanks belong to the generous contributions of books by Diederichs Verlag, Kösel Verlag and Murmann Verlag for the good cause. The total amount raised that evening was 826,48 EUR – so thank you all very much for your donation, support and for joining us at this memorable event!

We wish you a merry and jolly X-Mas time, and that we’ll meet again healthy in 2023!

Today, April 28, 2022, is Girls’ Day, the Future Day for Girls. It is a day on which girls can discover new professions that, due to the status quo, are still often considered male-dominated fields, such as computer science, industrial mechanics, or skilled trades.

When it comes to #founding and #investing, women are also underrepresented. The share of women founding startups is still below 20%!

And that’s where we come in.

We at Startup Incubator Berlin support the Girls’Day – Mädchen-Zukunftstag campaign by aiming to have at least 50% women in our #Startup teams. To that end, we asked our #femalefounders what they have to say about founding a company and what advice they would give their younger selves.

Thank you for your insights, Sara Foster and Amrei Ram from Sittery, Evoléna de Wilde d’Estmael 🌱 from Faircado, Jessica Biastoch and Sarah Gràinne Jankowsky from Brea Health GmbH , Tina Weise from Trueffles, Christina Kunz from RückMal.

The Berlin School of Economics and Law also wants to introduce entrepreneurship as a career path at an early stage. That is why various workshops are taking place today. For example, 8 girls are developing a business idea on the topic of “The School of the Future.” A very important topic! We are very excited to see what comes out of it.

Internally as well, we are committed to fostering more female-led ventures. Currently, 50% of our founders are women. In addition, our Marketing and PR Manager Cindy is dedicated to increasing the visibility of women through her platform The Bold Woman.

The Startup Incubator of HWR Berlin

In the Startup Incubator of HWR Berlin, founding ideas are developed to market readiness. To this end, we support academic founding teams with know-how, infrastructure, and scholarships. We create a shared platform for entrepreneurial thinking and action (mindset) together with the Berlin business community (including Siemens AG). As a lean incubator, we focus on speed in developing and validating business models with customers.

Since 2016, the Startup Incubator Berlin has been supporting founding teams with the Berlin Startup Scholarship, and now also with the REACT Startup Scholarship. More than 30 startups have benefited from this financial and non-financial support, combined with the infrastructure provided by the HWR Berlin entrepreneurship center, to successfully develop their business ideas and products. Well-known startups such as Wonder, Forget Finance, SunCrafter, and startupdetector are successfully active in the market today. Forget Finance recently closed a seed funding round of €3.8 million.

Startup Incubator Berlin under new leadership.

The founding center of the Berlin School of Economics and Law now has a dual leadership with Marvin Göldner and Matthias Grytzka. The areas of entrepreneurship, startup support, and technology transfer are being strengthened.

Berlin, January 28, 2022. With Marvin Göldner and Matthias Grytzka, two experienced startup coaches are taking over the leadership of the Startup Incubator Berlin at the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin). Since January 2022, they have been responsible for the entire operational management of the founding center, which provides entrepreneurship-minded students with the framework, networks, and funding they need to develop their ideas through to market-ready prototypes.

The strategic concept development and funding acquisition for HWR Berlin will also be strengthened, with the aim of further advancing HWR Berlin’s profile as an entrepreneurial university.

Marvin Göldner

“I personally prepared a startup at an incubator in Munich and know from my own experience what is important for startups in the early stage. I am excited about the opportunities we can offer to those interested in founding a company and startup teams at the SIB. I look forward to further developing the university’s founding center and unlocking new growth potential with our great team. As an Innovation & Strategy Developer, I want to optimize coaching methods so that young startups at the SIB can reach the market faster.”

Matthias Grytzka

“I have been working at the SIB for almost five years and helped shape the HWR founding center at the A32 Entrepreneurs Forum Berlin in Siemensstadt. We provide young startup teams with an attractive co-working space, a Design Thinking Lab, and a lab for developing app applications, a prototyping workshop, and above all coaching and financial support. That is simply wonderful. I am looking forward to the ever-new creative startup teams for whose success we are laying the foundation here. Innovation is not a coincidence.”

The Startup Incubator Berlin, the founding center of the Berlin School of Economics and Law, is a workshop and experimentation space for those interested in starting a business. Here, ideas, concepts, and the development of prototypes are supported, and founders and potential business partners are connected. It is a place of creativity, encounter, and exchange. With the Berlin Startup Scholarship and the EXIST scholarship program, founders are financially supported. The incubator is aimed at everyone who is just at the beginning of their founding idea as well as those who are already in the active founding phase.
