About us

By bringing together innovative start-up ideas with the expertise of established companies and scientific excellence, the Digital Hub Initiative promotes the growth of a strong culture of innovation and the development of new digital business models. Through the Digital Hub Initiative, Germany is strengthening its position as an attractive location for digital innovation and as one of the world's leading digital ecosystems.

Twelve Digital Hubs located throughout Germany provide a solid network that facilitates the exchange of technological and economic expertise, programs and ideas. Each Digital Hub allows start-ups, companies and research institutions to come together to find common solutions to the challenges and prospects of digitisation. Accelerators and incubators develop new solutions for industry-relevant fields in special innovation programs. These solutions range from artificial intelligence to mobility and smart infrastructure.

Twelve digital hubs form a strong network across Germany.
