Launch of new technology center in Mannheim
The "Tech Hub" offers 1,850 square meters of space for start-ups from the city. Companies can even rent space temporarily free of charge.
Mannheim's "Tech Hub" is ready and now offers tech start-ups space to take their first steps. Young companies and student teams can rent 1,850 square meters of space, at times even free of charge. The city particularly wants to appeal to regional accelerator programs and students at universities.
"Accelerators are among the success factors in the promotion of technology-oriented start-ups. They strengthen start-up activity in the long term and thus serve the innovative capacity of the state," says Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Economic Affairs Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut (CDU).
The city of Mannheim has invested 3.48 million euros in the Tech Hub. The state has contributed one million euros from the European Regional Development Fund. "The aim is to consistently expand our dynamic start-up ecosystem across industry boundaries," says Lord Mayor Peter Kurz (SPD).
In addition to offices, the Tech Hub also offers space with 3D printers, laser cutters and an electrical workstation where students and founders can build their first prototypes, for example.
