Innovation is new, sometimes crazy and has many colors. Forget the 25-year-old-founder and the garage – it is an old picture, that limits the world’s view on entrepreneurs. Yes, many inspiring new technologies are developed at universities – but an equal number of entrepreneurs bring in their intense years of working experience. Entrepreneurship is also not limited to startups but can be found in any form – in larger corporations, in government and also in school. It is also not “he” or “she”. Innovation and entrepreneurship require a certain mindset, that can be found in any kind of person or organization! Innovation is driven by diversity, boldness and the willingness to change.

Startup Colors brings together an exclusive group of innovators, experts and storytellers passionate about supporting entrepreneurs and innovation in Europe, Asia and the US. We are especially excited about innovation in healthcare, IoT, Smart City and Manufacturing. One of our flagship programs is the healthcare incubator Vision Health Pioneers that has been funded by the Senate of Berlin and European Social Fund with 1.5 Million Euros. 

And since our team is growing, we need you to discover with us all the colors and shades of innovation across the world as ours.
