The mission of NXTGN
Success through partnerships
Access to innovative solutions, qualified talent and like-minded company representatives lays the foundation for joint collaborations.
As a company or institution from the business world, you enrich the ecosystem as part of the Corporate Membership with your excellent industry expertise and your monetary investment. In return, you will receive specific benefits from the following three areas: Talent & Visibility, Technology & Innovation and Transformation & Minimum.
Our members
Our three value propositions
The Membership for corporates: community events, peer learning and much more
Talents & Visibility
To secure the prosperity of our region, we are tackling the shortage of skilled labour. Together, we are increasing the attractiveness of the region in order to maintain the quality of life and attract diverse and international talents.
Technology & Innovation
We create prospects for future generations by contributing to sustainable re-industrialisation and promoting new business models and fields of technology.
Transformation & Mindset
The challenges are increasing and everyday working life is becoming ever more complex. The necessary transformation requires progressive leadership and future work skills. We identify these and help employees to adapt.
Our specific services:
We present your company as an innovative force and attractive employer beyond your own network in order to position the strategic orientation of the company both internally and externally, for example at events, through posts on our social media or through the opportunity to place job adverts on our jobportal.
In a relaxed atmosphere, you will meet representatives from startups, academia, and industry to discuss current topics. You will also benefit from inspiring input and networking opportunities, for example at speed dating with startups and talents from NXTGN formats.
Our specific services:
We offer a customised startup portfolio with industry-leading startups based on a strategic search field defined by you. Each profile includes a one-pager with all relevant evaluation information about the startups.
Our quarterly reports on trending topics such as AI solutions along the customer journey, sustainability and cyber security provide in-depth insights and show which startups are currently implementing these topics. These reports provide a deeper understanding of current developments.
Our specific services:
We organise cross-company, curated workshops and roundtables on topics such as open innovation, change management and corporate venturing. Our aim is to promote mutual learning and impart practically applicable knowledge.
Exclusive events with representatives of our corporate partners at senior, board and shareholder level with the intention of learning from each other through fruitful discussions and thus supporting the effectiveness of the startup ecosystem.

What our Corporate Members say
“Through NXTGN, we have gotten to know several competent startups in recent years that are so well suited to us in terms of content that we now work together on a permanent basis. It would have taken us a lot of time to find these small teams ourselves and establish contact.”
Peter Guse | Vector
“NXTGN gives me exciting insights into the startup ecosystem in Baden-Württemberg as well as valuable access to young talent and innovative solutions.”
