“A truly interdisciplinary startup and innovation program is exactly the right idea at the right time and can become a real opportunity for many students. Getting something new off the ground is highly motivating and enriching. We urgently need more innovation, and not just in tech areas. That’s why I wholeheartedly support this initiative and am very happy to contribute my experience.”

“Entrepreneurship and innovation go hand in hand. In order to increase innovation, interdisciplinary competence in teams of founders is very important. We are excited about the output of the program and look forward to interesting teams and business ideas.”

“The INTIE is a valuable addition both for Hamburg’s start-up scene and in the context of Hamburg’s innovation strategy. Innovation is the central factor in successfully shaping the future, interdisciplinarity the key to answering complex questions about the future.”

“We highly appreciate interdisciplinary founding teams because they are particularly capable of mastering the complex challenges of building a startup. Therefore, we are already looking forward to getting to know interesting founder teams and innovative business models through the INTIE program.”

“Something like this was really missing in Hamburg. It’s an important initiative that I’m happy to support. For me, it’s about young talents having development opportunities here and understanding how to develop their own ideas but also critically examine them. Foundations must not be a flash in the pan. I’m therefore happy to support the participants with my experience on how this can succeed.”

“Meeting societal challenges with interdisciplinarity and entrepreneurship cannot start early enough! The Cross Innovation Hub of Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft therefore very much welcomes the fact that the certificate program offers a new, cross-university qualification for students to strengthen the shared Hamburg innovation ecosystem.”

“The new program is a great opportunity for students to become drivers of digital innovation and entrepreneurship. I therefore strongly support this initiative.”

“It is very important to me to promote innovation and start-ups in Hamburg. I see great opportunities, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Because international networks are very important for this, I am working with others to build a bridge to Silicon Valley for AI innovation. I am happy to bring these networks into the new program. It’s a great initiative for Hamburg.”

“Artificial Intelligence will positively change our lives and offer great opportunities for innovators. Promoting AI innovation made in Hamburg is a real concern of mine. The new program can become a real platform for the founders of tomorrow. That’s why I support it and am happy to contribute my many years of international experience as a founder.”

“An interdisciplinary program that brings together tech opportunities with diverse applications is just in time to provide students with great development opportunities. We therefore strongly support the initiative.”

As a startup that was founded by a university and interdisciplinary research group, we at ADFERENCE think the INTIE program is great and would have wished for such support at the time. We are excited about the innovative ideas for tomorrow!

“I think this program is a very good step because entrepreneurship can be learned in parts and can be strengthened and sharpened, especially by passing on experiences. In doing so, I am happy to bring the experiences of the last 25 years to the program, and in doing so, I hope to contribute to the future with the past.”
