1 SUMMARY:INNOVATIONANDCREATIVELABSINBERLINASURVEY
1.1 BACKGROUNDInearly2013,ProjectFuturecommissionedtheLeibniz Institute forRegionalDevelop
ment and Structural Planning to conduct research together with the Geography De
partment at the HumboldtUniversitt zu Berlin to provide an overview of the phe
nomenon of innovation and creative labs. The data on the Berlin labs was gathered
throughdesktopresearch,withfollowuptelephoneinterviewsasneededtoconfirmor
supplement the information collected. In Berlin, there is a demand for venues and
roomsfacilitatingthesenewformsofeconomicactivity,aswellasfortheopenspaces
neededtotestbusinessmodelsandexperimentwith ideas.Berlin isconnectedwitha
certainlifestyle(theplacetobe),aprofilewhichisalsoperceivedinternationally.The
citys image, informedby itsurbanambience,culturalandcreative scene,workshops,
studios,and freespaces,aswellasthechancetotryoutnew formsofworkhere,at
tractscreativeandtalentedpeoplefromGermanyandabroad.Innovationandcreative
labsrepresentaneweconomicdevelopmentinthecity.
Today, fewer innovationsaredeveloped inclosed laboratories. Instead, it is interdisci
plinary collaborationsand the integrationof thecreativeeconomyasan intersectoral
sectorthatholdsoutthepromiseofdecisivesuccessesininnovativeprocesses.Against
thisbackground,innovationandcreativelabsprovidespacesforaninterdisciplinaryex

offersafertilegroundforsuchnewapproachesto implementinginnovationprocesses.
Here,Berlincanbuildonawiderangeofeconomicactivitiesandstructures,aswellasa
highdensityoftrainingfacilities,universitiesandnonuniversityresearchinstitutions.In
addition,Berlin isa locationwhere ithasbeenpossible to realise showcase initiatives
withan internationalprofilewhichhave ledtomutuallyreinforcingeffects.Such initia
tives
include,
for
example,
Aufbau

and
Planet
Modulor,

and
T
Labs.
Ulti
mately, Berlin is clearly developing into a location where new models for innovative
spacescanbebornandtested,andevenexportedtoother locationsas isapparent,
forexample,intheopeningofafurtherUFALabsinCologne.
Berlin evidently offers the chance to test out and utilize a range of diverse creative
methodsandinnovativesolutionsatonelocation.Atthesametime,thecityisstrongly

majorcorporations, findattractive, since this imageofBerlinencourages thinkingand

between various stakeholders from creative minds to innovators, startups, investors,
scientists and scholars, enthusiasts, the curious and others from a range of different
specialistandeconomic sectors.While in companyowned labs, creativepracticesare
stronglydirected todefinedgoals,other labs create spaces foropenexperimentation

GRASSROOTSLABS
Grassroots labs are influenced by their development from DIY movements and per
sonal initiatives.Theirmainfocus isonjointpractices,developmentandtesting.These
include,ontheonehand,hackerspaces,markedbytheirworkshopcharacterandoften
combiningdigitalandmachineaidedworkwithcomputers,3DprintersorCNCmilling
technologies. On the other hand, this category also comprises labs mainly concerned
withartandculture.Grassroots labs shareanoncommercial,collaborativeapproach,

participationofnonassociationmembers.

INCUBATORSANDACCELERATORS
Inincubatorsandaccelerators,companiesandinvestorstestanddevelopnewbusiness
modelsand ideas (e.g. inthegrowthmarketsofdigitaltechnologies)and,atthesame
time,gainaccesstotalented foundersandentrepreneurs. Incubatorsandaccelerators
foster the establishment and development of creative and innovative startups. Thestartups are usually already supported in the early stage of the innovation cycle (in
some cases, even in the seed and early stage phase). In this way, investors or major
companiessecureaccess toskilledandentrepreneurialminded talents from theperti
nent business fields and technological sectors. Here, one can differentiate between
thesesubtypes:
Incubators furnish selected startups and teams with seed capital, expertise(personalmentoringandcoachingfromexperts),networkaccessandinfrastruc
tureforaperiodusuallyofoneyear.InthecasesofYOUISNOWandhub:raum,
forexample,thefoundersbenefitedadditionallyfromthedistributionchannels

workspaces (coworkingspace)ofthe incubator (onsite incubator). Inreturn,
thestartupsgivecompanysharestotheincubatoroperatorandoftenaddition
allytootherpartnerinvestors(angelinvestorsandventurecapitalcompanies).
Companybuilders (usuallyangelandventurecapital investors)supportor leadentrepreneursandassembled teams toestablishdedicated startups from the
companysownideas.RocketInternetandTeamEurope,whichpartiallycopied
already existing business models, are examples of this entrepreneur in com
panymodel.As inthe incubatorapproach,thesestartupsusuallywork inthe
work spaces (coworking space) of the company builder (onsite incubator).
Frequently,thismodelalsoinvolvesadditionalinvestors.
