OUR SUPPORT
Kraftwerk – city accelerator bremen was created to develop powerful ideas for the city of the future. It enables us to assist startups, e.g. by initiating co-operations with the kraftwerk’s partner companies. We create synergy effects by establishing contact with other startups already active at kraftwerk, and with all kinds of other companies involved in the coworking space and Bremen community.
The issues addressed at kraftwerk are climate neutrality, circular economy and digitalization.
How much support, and what kind of support, will lead you to success? Depending on how developed your idea is, you can work with us to devise an action plan tailored to your specific needs.
