Our ecosystem partner briefly explained

Corporate Partner - our corporate partners are already thinking about tomorrow today

Our corporate partners are family-run or medium-sized companies from all over Baden-Württemberg - the backbone of our economy.

Through targeted networking with entrepreneurial talent and innovative start-ups, we support them in overcoming current challenges, such as digitalisation and decarbonisation, in order to secure the future viability of Europe's most innovative region. We organise our collaboration through a wide range of services and collaboration formats.

the advantages of our co-operation

The next generation of SMEs through cooperation

Start-ups and existing SMEs form and shape the next generation of SMEs. New products, services and business models can be validated and established together using open innovation approaches. Both sides can therefore benefit from working together.

Innovation power

The close dialogue between established companies and start-ups creates the opportunity for new business relationships. Innovative solutions can be jointly developed, refined and validated.

Peer-learning

Specialist and innovation areas across industries face similar challenges in our innovation ecosystem. Best practices can be shared and new impetus provided through open dialogue.

Breaking new ground

The NXTGN ecosystem connects many highly qualified, digital and entrepreneurial talents. They get to know each other through various innovation formats - often the starting point for a shared future.

What the people behind the logos say

Nils Blume
EnBW Innovation | #corporatepartner
"As an energy supplier from Baden-Württemberg with more than 10 years of innovation experience, supporting start-ups "in the state" is very important to us. In NXTGN, we have a great partner that connects corporates with startups, strengthens and inspires the startup landscape in Baden-Württemberg."
Wolfram Schnelle
Vegetable ring | #corporatepartner
"A good network is important because it's the only way to 'think outside the box'. And because it can lead to projects that we wouldn't have thought of otherwise, but that still help us move forward."
Dominik Meyer
Novatec | #corporatepartner
"Modern technologies, methods and business models are no longer topics from Silicon Valley, but have long since arrived in the centre of THE LÄND. Novatec sees itself as an enabler to support the 'next generation of SMEs' in these areas. A functioning network is crucial for this."
Bettina Lichtner
AOK Baden-Württemberg | #corporatepartner
