Berlin

FinTech & IoT

Berlin is not just hype. It is a melting pot above all else. Its diversity is reflected in the local start-up scene as well as in numerous venture capital firms. Accordingly, the Digital Hub focuses on two forward-looking industries – the Internet of Things (IoT) and fintech. The capital's appeal and international presence drives progress in both areas and provides the foundations for unique collaborations.

With approximately 4,500 start-ups, Berlin is one of Europe’s – and indeed the world’s – most important ecosystems for innovation. A strong start-up culture, tech conferences, start-up competitions, incubators and investors attract talented entrepreneurs from around the world every year. The supporters of the Digital Hub Berlin offer an established network right in the middle of this atmosphere. The IoT+ Network brings together players and opens up new business models in the field of the Internet of Things. The digitisation of the financial sector is being advanced in the FinTech Hub in cooperation with the Berlin Finance Initiative. The Hub connects partners from the business world and scientific community as well as from the technology scene. Berlin Partner for Business and Technology is responsible for coordinating the activities.
