New Ventures being part of the today’s BayStartUP event in our homebase Munich! A networking event organized by the Bavarian ministry of states for start-ups, potential investors & the industry.

💡 The idea: Entrepreneurs from all sectors and in every start-up phase will find support - from financing and funding to advice and coaching to regional contacts.

💪 Its strength: the large network of medium-sized businesses, corporations, science and the start-up scene.

Actually it has been amazing, speaking to entrepreneurs & founders on the ground. Besides good networking and conversations, we got in touch with interesting start-ups like hey circle GmbH, Mozaik or BatchOne and credium which may be a benefit for our future (venture) activities.

Dominik Moers Erika Wernolf Andrea Ilsemann Nikolaj Penava Neele Maarten de Vries thanks for great discussions & sharings! 📢

What can we learn from the Startup-Nation Israel?

This was the topic of the "Meet&Eat" organized by Einstein1 Digitales Gründerzentrum yesterday in Hof where our Head of Innovation & Tech Venturing Ansgar Niehoff presented a talk about The Startup-Nation and its High Tech Startup Ecosystem. No ecosystem attracts more #VC per capita than Israel and Israel boasts the hightest density of #unicorns worldwide.

Two weeks ago REHAU and REHAU New Ventures supported a student excursion of Hochschule Hof, University of Applied Sciences to the Startup-Nation Israel - an unforgettable experience getting immersed into one of the most exciting Startup & Innovation Hotspots in the world.

After the Keynote by Ansgar Niehoff, the students shared their highlights of the trip and the inspiring event was concluded with a panel discussion and encouraged the over 60 participants to mingle with good food and drinks.

"The openness and friendship of Israeli students made one encounter to the best experiences in my life."

"I could imagine to emigrate to Israel to be able to be part of this vibrant ecosystem with its informal go-getter mentality."

These were only few of the inspring statements by the participants of the Israel excursion.

As REHAU and REHAU New Ventures we are very excited to support such a meaningful local initiative to foster entrepreneurship and learn from other diverse cultures and ecosystems. Learning from each other and combining the best of different worlds will be key for sustainable innovations.

How can Germany realize the 400,000 new apartments per year that are set in the current coalition agreement?

--\> that means one apartment every 80s!

📢 Sneak Peek! 📢

As New Ventures we love to support "Against the Odds" stories presented and hosted by TEDxNuremberg on 3rd of June in #Nuremburg, #Tafelhalle.

"Against the odds" - achieving success despite facing unfavorable or difficult circumstances. Against the odds stories are stories in which success was only a faint hope in the very beginning. Stories that tell of struggle and setbacks, of perseverance, courage and finally dreams which became true. Whether it's a remarkable leader who gets people to commit to their cause or a story about a personal struggle in life. Those are all stories whose outcome is uncertain, which need courage to achieve something.

Our work New Ventures has a lot to do with the somehow "unknown", we need to step out and look for the #opportunities - against all odds which may keep us from thinking and doing the right things. 💪

We are super excited what the speakers are going to share with us in their talks! What about you? How you get to the 🎟 #tickets can be found in the comments. 👇

About "movers" & "shakers"...

We are still very enthralled by the excellent Inside Summit taken place in Munich last week!

An event originally made for the minds of the #furniture & #kitchen industry but what has been offered was way more than a simple event for that industry. It has been a dense and inspiring day covering everything from socio-political landscape, the economic outlook, consumer sentiment, market place development, meaning of brand as well as opportunities in ecommerce and social media. The need to stay nimble, to look ahead with confidence and to constantly push for change and transformation continues to be the recipe for persevering in challenging times

Learning 📢: The #Home & #Living market is confronted with many risks. New business models appear, also with a close connection to #ecommerce. Ankorstore is for instance a great example for new business models within this branch. It has been founded by a few French industry veterans as an online #B2B platform that connects brands with retailers across the continent. What it offers? A wide range of brands, greater flexibility for retailers, and worry-free processes for brands and retailers alike.

As within New Ventures we are driving innovation within the area of "Better Living", the topic of Home & Living and the network & scene behind is very relevant to us.

On the pictures you see our CEO Nils Wagner sharing the stage with Melanie Thomann-Bopp and Kerstin Hochmüller from Marantec speaking about change in large organizations in the context of innovation and digitalization. Has been a great panel and a super inspiring exchange!
