und erhält Millionenförderung zum Aufbau eines strukturierten, industriegetriebenen Startup Ökosystems!
Futury ist nun offiziell eine der deutschlandweit zentralen Startup Factories, die in den kommenden fünf Jahren mit maßgeblicher Unterstützung des Bundes die Gründungslandschaft in Deutschland transformieren werden. Futury wird getragen von einer starken Allianz aus 29 Partnern aus Unternehmen und Stiftungen sowie vier Hochschulen - der Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz und der TU Darmstadt.
Ziel ist es, Unternehmertum in Forschung und Lehre an den Partnerhochschulen stärker zu verankern. Gleichzeitig werden Talente entlang ihrer Gründungsreise begleitet, der Zugang zu Kunden und Kapital erleichtert und das Zusammenspiel von Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft, Investor:innen und Politik systematisch gestärkt.
Ziel: Bis 2030 ein industrieorientiertes Gründungsökosystem zu schaffen, das 1.000 neue Startups hervorgebracht hat."
What others say about us
Bain unterstützt Futury seit 2019 und was dieses Team schon in der RheinMain Region geleistet hat ist wirklich herausragend. Mit mehr als 100 Partnerunternehmen ist die Verknüpfung von Startups und Industrieunternehmen schon perfekt gelungen. Wir als Bain & Company agieren hier vor allem als Coaches und Mentoren.
Walter Sinn
Managing Partner Bain & Company
In a time full of challenges, we need answers in the form of innovation — including in packaging and waste management. And we know that if we all pull together, we can achieve even more. That is our “why” behind THE MISSION Waste and its partners.
Mario Federico
President & Managing Director McDonald's Germany
Thanks to FUTURY, we have found a strong cooperation partner like Nestlé. Together, we were able to achieve numerous milestones in the areas of product protection, laboratory testing and production preparation. We have also successfully launched retail pilots — with Nesquik as the first brand.
Maximilian Bannasch
Co-Found & CEO Circolution GmbH
We — my co-founders and I — met during THE MISSION Waste. As a result of the program's strong market push and close cooperation with corporates and customers, we are currently building a fast-growing company that recently received funding of 1.75 million euros and is seeing a strong market response.
Vivian Loftin
Co-Founder Recyda
We benefited greatly from the fact that we had easy access to decision makers in the industry. During THE MISSION, we worked with seven corporate partners to achieve business-critical milestones. To this day, we continue to work with most of them.
David Schoen
Co-Founder of vEPA Vertical Parking
As a British startup, it is usually not easy for us to gain access to players in the construction and real estate sectors in new markets. By participating in the MISSION Construction program, we were able to get in touch with the German market and learn more about the challenges.
Lucy Lyons
Co-Founder & CEO, Kestrix
THE MISSION Food not only gave us access to customers and partners from manufacturing, retail and catering, but also helped us develop and scale our business model. This is much more than just a typical accelerator program!
Elvira
Founder Brew Bites
Thanks to THE MISSION Food, we were able to establish contacts with leading companies along the agrifood value chain, including Nestlé, Lidl and Metro.
Tom Leenders
Co-Founder Neri`te
Long-term thinking and responsible action are part of our identity at WISAG. This is why innovations are needed: New products and business models are the basis for a future worth living in. Together with the Futury Ecosystem, we integrate start-ups into our digital and sustainable transformation and value The Mission as a platform for innovative ideas and continuous exchange.
Till Eichenauer
Head of Digital Transformation & Innovation at WISAG
The future team in the background has really helped to establish contacts, and you can use their network to expand your team, get concrete feedback and support, and become visible through their channels.
