About the program

The start-up safari offers the opportunity to spend a day exploring Berlin's start-up scene, learning about the latest trends and technologies, and being inspired by them.

In this format, we start in the morning in a co-working space with an introduction by experts from the Hasso Plattner Institute on the Berlin start-up scene. One focus is on the challenges of setting up a digital start-up. You will experience the modern, agile way start-ups work firsthand and on-site.

During the day, we will visit several innovative early-stage companies at their premises. Depending on the size of the group, you will discover up to six start-ups from a wide range of technology fields and industries. They will present their founding stories, technologies, and business models and answer your questions in person.

Through a start-up safari tailored to your company, you will gain essential insights into relevant innovation technologies and future fields of digital transformation. We are happy to expand the safari and support you and your company in transferring the new insights to your company context. This ensures you can apply what you have learned in your company after this upskilling.

Agenda

Innovations, agile work processes, and entrepreneurial spirit – we are thrilled with the start-up safari from the HPI d-school. The perfect prelude to the subsequent design thinking workshop and the launch of our #InnoTeam.
