We forge partnerships with global organizations, for example, Google for Startups, and McKinsey & Company, in order to give startups access to resources that help their businesses grow.
Our Story
It all started with a vision to create Germany’s first and largest international network of tech startups, fueled by a passion for building spaces. Udo Schloemer, founder of Factory Berlin, opened the people-centric space in 2014 to build a Community for all types of experts and innovators.
Located on the former Berlin Wall, the original location, Factory Berlin Mitte, was designed by architect Julian Breinersdorfer and interior designers Anna Sophie Rickers and Sabrina Heimig-Schloemer.
In 2018, we scaled along with the Berlin startup ecosystem, and opened Factory Berlin Görlitzer Park. 14000 sqm of innovation labs, shared workspaces, and event space, featuring a cinema, cafe, restaurant, music studio, a 360 XR Room, and the Creators Lab.
Our Team
