BHT Startup Hub

A-B-Circular Projekt und das Team der BHT auf dem MPI Deep Dive Event 🌟 Noch gilt die Baubranche als Treiber eines hohen Ressourcenverbrauchs. Welche Möglichkeiten bestehen, diese zu schonen und Material produktiv weiterzuverwenden, wurde auf der Veranstaltung „Zirkuläre Wertschöpfung in der Bauindustrie“ diskutiert. Wir hatten die Gelegenheit bei dem MPI Deep Dive Circular Economy der Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe auf dem Modell-Campus ringberlin mit den Projekt A-B-Circular dabei zu sein. Wie wichtig die Kreislaufwirtschaft für eine zukunftsfähige Baubranche und für den Weg Richtung Klimaneutralität einer Metropole wie Berlin ist, betonte auf dem Event auch Dr. Severin Fischer, Staatssekretär in der Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe. Neben spannenden Förderprojekten zur Kreislaufwirtschaft (Nahtlose Integration für den städtischen Holzbau – Prof. Raoul Bunschoten, Bauhütte 4.0 / Fit for Circular Economy (FFCE) – Dina Padalkina, Circular Berlin / Industrie Digitalwirtschaft Circular Economy (InDiCE) – Dr. Marianne Kuhlmann , Circularity e.V. / Reallabor B(e) Ware – Ammon Budde, Natural Building Lab) gab es für die Teilnehmenden auch einen Einblick von Robin Bruck in die Arbeiten der Koordinierungsstelle für Kreislaufwirtschaft, Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz im Betrieb (KEK) von Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH. Die Elevator Pitches „Neue Geschäftsmodelle für zirkuläres Bauen“ der Startups TRIQBRIQ und ecoLocked zeigten auf, welche innovativen und vor allem ressourcenschonende Baumaterialien zum Einsatz kommen können. ´ Das A-B-Circular Projekt und das BHT Team freuen sich, Teil dieser bedeutenden Initiative zu sein und gemeinsam an nachhaltigen Lösungen für die Bauindustrie zu arbeiten🌍🔄 Wir werden bald alle Teilnehmenden zu einem Event an der Berlin University of Applied Sciences Berlin (BHT) während #Transferale einladen! #CircularEconomy #Bauindustrie #Nachhaltigkeit #BHTStartuphub #ABCircular #MPIDeepDive #ZirkuläresBauen #InnovativeLösungen #Berlin

On 2nd of July we came together to explore innovative solutions that combine style with environmental responsibility at our event „Circular Fashion: Embracing Sustainable Design and Couture", as it is part of the project #ABCircular aiming to promote climate-neutral manufacturing of products "Made in Berlin" in the design/fashion and architecture/construction industries. The project A-B-Circular is funded by the Berliner Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe as part of the Call for Circular Econony within the Berliner Industry Masterplan 2022-2026 and fitted perfectly in the agenda of #BerlinFashionWeek! The event started with inspiring keynotes from industry und academic leaders including Prof. Dr. Florian Schindler from Berlin University of Applied Sciences Berlin (BHT), Anke Pfau from Verband der Nord-Ostdeutschen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie e.V. (vti), Jens Heitland, former Global Head of Innovation at IKEA Centres, and Catalina Panoiu from HYUNDAI CRADLE. Their insights into the challenges and opportunities of the textile circular economy set the stage for a discussion full of insights and practical strategies for implementing circularity. A panel discussion moderated by Janna Schlender from Impact Hub Berlin further enriched the dialogue, with experts including Prof. Marte Hentschel from VORN — The Berlin Fashion Hub / Sqetch and Aleksandar Kovačević from Re-Fresh Global. They explored sustainable innovation, circular economy partnerships and the transformative potential of eco-friendly practices in the fashion industry. The programme also included startup pitches and a fashion show, during which the startups and designers showcased their creations, incorporating upcycled elements and redefining eco-friendly aesthetics. We would like to thank reverse.supply, LoopLook, Re-Fresh Global, #LaModaMe, Peralta Clothing, Kristin Verita Katzer, Emma Lafoz Pérez, SYLIA and CANUSSA LAB for their remarkable contributions. The team of BHT’s GLASBOX, which is part of the project "Zukunft findet Stadt. Hochschulnetzwerk für ein resilientes Berlin" organised by five Berlin universities, also showed how sustainable projects can be realised. Organised as a makerspace, the GLASBOX is designed to foster creative exchange and is open to BHT students and members of staff as well as to external visitors. The space is equipped with 3D printers, sewing and stitching machines. The event not only demonstrated the importance of circular economy principles, but also inspired attendees to integrate these practices into their own designs and businesses (supported by the offer of Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH).We are very thankful to all the speakers, panellists, startups, designers and attendees who made this event a success. Together we are paving the way for a more sustainable future in fashion. We hope you had a great networking experience and see you soon!

Reliable legal advice is essential for start-ups. What needs to be considered when it comes to data protection, how do you protect your intellectual property or how do you properly prepare contracts with partners and staff? Stephan Meyer, LL.M. (USYD) and Lars Rohrberg from LEXR provided us with valuable legal input last week, during which we received numerous tips for start-ups. Here are the most important points: > industry-specific regulations: Startups in regulated industries (such as fintech and medtech) must adhere to strict rules. Data protection is particularly important. > intellectual property: Protect your ideas, software and brands with patents and copyrights. Contracts should include IP clauses to prevent abuse. > customer offerings and software performance: Be transparent about the capabilities of your software and set realistic expectations to avoid legal disputes. > data encryption and privacy: Even if not always required, encryption increases security and user trust. A big thank you to the law firm and all participants! We look forward to the next event. #StartupLife #Law #Compliance #Innovation #Networking

Today's workshop gave participants an insight into design thinking. This user-centred innovation process helps to solve problems by understanding the needs of the user and developing and testing solutions in several steps. Guided by Kathleen K., who is an expert with over ten years of experience in project management and consulting and holds a degree in entrepreneurship and innovation from Harvard Business School Online, we were given a comprehensive insight into the world of design thinking. Kathleen has a hands-on approach as well as passion for innovation and creativity and thus made the workshop a rewarding experience. Highlights of the workshop: Design Thinking Basics: We explored the basics and mindset behind this creative innovation method. Understanding user needs:By creating personas and journey mapping, we gained deeper insights into the needs and challenges of our target groups. Problem clarification: We observed users and identified their pain points in order to better understand the problems that the start-ups want to solve. Creativity and idea generation:We used Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) to overcome creative blocks and generate and refine fresh ideas. At the end of the day, all participants left with a wide range of new methods, tools and a lot of motivation, as we had a fantastic group of startups, Exist Women and external participants! A total creative diversity! Many thanks to everyone who took part and especially to Kathleen for her great commitment! We are already looking forward to the next exciting events and to continuing to enrich the startup scene. See you soon at the BHT Startup Hub! #Startups #DesignThinking #Innovation #BHTStartupHub #EXISTWomen #Entrepreneurship #Networking
