Transfer promoted on a large and small scale

This year's winners of the Startup Award were honored on July 3 in the festive atmosphere of the Berliner Sparkasse event venue on Lake Wannsee. In front of an audience of over 200 guests, Berliner Sparkasse and Science & Startups honored three promising spin-offs whose innovative strength and entrepreneurial vision impressed the jury. Get2Germany won the main prize of EUR 12,000 as well as the audience award. The startup helps foreign healthcare professionals integrate into the German labor market. Second prize went to AdaptX Systems, which aims to set new standards with sustainable and efficient cooling solutions for machines. In third place was Acemate, a startup that developed an AI-supported learning platform for students.

The Startup Award showcases Berlin’s diversity and innovative strength as a hub for science and startups, as well as the close links between research and entrepreneurship—and makes it easier for new entrepreneurs from the scientific community to strike out on their own.
