Accelerator – General Accelerator, Social & Impact Accelerator

Futury | The Mission

We support young entrepreneurs in developing their own start-up.

We strive to foster innovative and entrepreneurial solutions that create a long-lasting positive impact for people, planet and profit. By leading people and organizations, taking ownership and building lasting partnerships, we are committed to achieving results that exceed our boundaries and enable our ecosystem to thrive. Therefore, we create a dynamic platform that connects entrepreneurs, talents, and industry players, fueling sustainable innovation and driving transformative growth. Through curated networks, acceleration programs, and opportunities, we empower startups, talents and organizations to collaborate, ideate, and bring disruptive ideas to life, ultimately propelling sustainable impact and relevance. Together with Bain & Company, Handelsblatt Media Group and Schwarz Gruppe, we launched our innovation ecosystem and accelerator program THE MISSION to create a long-lasting positive impact on the economy, society and planet. Over the last years we worked with 100+ corporates, scouted over 750+ ideas, accelerated 75+ startups and initiated 45+ industry pilots.

We focus on sustainable innovations in the fields of construction, waste, cyber security and food. During our three-month programs, we offer young entrepreneurs access to our extensive network of corporate partners, methodological workshops, guidance within the fields of market research, customer journey, business models and prototyping as well as a financial support and office space.

During the three-month program, you will get in touch with market leaders from your industry (and maybe you will win them as your pilot-customers). You will deepen the skills and knowledge you need to push your startup to the next level. And the best: All this will happen with your dream-team – whether you have already found it or whether you will find it with us. It is not easy to found a successful sustainable startup, but we support you in every step of the way. During the program you benefit from the following:
