Did you know... ▶ 64% of U.S. unicorns were founded or co-founded by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. ▶ 80% of America’s unicorns companies have an immigrant founder, CEO or vice president of engineering. ▶ 25% of U.S. billion-dollar startup companies have a founder who first came to America as an international student. Two years ago, we launched MENT2BE, our initiative for and with migrant entrepreneurs, together with our partners at 2hearts. But not just because of a personal relevance & connection - but because Migrant Entrepreneurs are an invaluable resource when it comes to innovation and talent. Ersin Üstün, COO at BRYCK, shares his point of view about the need to fully integrate and support Migrant Entrepreneurs within our German Startup Ecosystem, also as part of the governmental WIN-initiative - and how we are supporting this mission, now with our 2 new partners Digital Hub Initiative & Startup-Verband Click & learn more!

The "Startup Factories" is a nationwide competition from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, aimed at creating 5-10 lighthouses across Germany to significantly boost the number and quality of knowledge-based startups. BRYCK has entered the competition in collaboration with the RAG-Stiftung and the University Alliance Ruhr, 3 universities - Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund University and University of Duisburg-Essen representing over 110,000 students. 𝗕𝗥𝗬𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗵𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗕𝟮𝗕-𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗯 The Ruhr region’s unique strength is its B2B Industry – therefore our vision is to build a “B2B-Tech Real Lab” to unlock this potential. “The opportunities are enormous,” says Philipp Herrmann, Co-CEO of BRYCK. “With world-class research and an unmatched density of students and industrial firms, the Ruhr area can become Europe's B2B tech powerhouse!” However, the Ruhr has yet to fully realize its potential due to fragmented regional efforts. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 The momentum around the BRYCK Startup Alliance brings national and European visibility. So, the time for universities, industry and venture capital to work together for the big swing is now. The 3 Ruhr universities are on board: "Universities are shifting to include not just teaching and research, but also knowledge transfer” says TU Dortmund University President Manfred Bayer. ” In the last three years, there have been over 150 startups — similar to Munich - but we lack a strong connection to industry.” Christian Lüdtke, Co-CEO at BRYCK, says: "What we want is a B2B-Tech hotspot with international appeal. This is our chance to put the Ruhr region on the map. Germany’s industry has its strongest foundation here — so our ambition must be excellence, achievable only through collaboration. Together, we are unstoppable” Bernd Tönjes, Chairman of the RAG-Stiftung, emphasizes his belief in BRYCK’s model: “This isn’t about charity. It’s about building an ROI-driven system that solves real business problems and attracts talents to the region.” The application period runs until February 2025. To support the BRYCK Startup Alliance, reach out to Philipp Herrmann, Christian Lüdtke or Ersin Üstün. Thank you to all supports & guests! Dirk Opalka, Götz Erhardt, Gisbert Ruehl & many more
