Berlin is home to a flourishing startup scene and the HWR Berlin with its startup incubator, also plays a significant role in the city’s entrepreneurial eco-system.

Students will learn, among other things how to write a business plan and present a pitch deck; apply models and tools of innovation and technology management; and understand property rights and venture capital financing.
