RAG Stiftung is a major investment company responsible for the financial obligations arising from Germany's hard coal mining operations. In addition to managing pit water and groundwater purification, RAG Stiftung is committed to promoting educational, scientific, and cultural projects in order to enable the sucessful transformation of Germany into the post-industrial era.
As part of their mission to foster a bright future for the former mining regions in the west of Germany, RAG Stiftung aimed to establish an innovative hub of European Significance in Essen, NRW. The plan was to unite local and global businesses, ranging from startups to corporations, universities, and public institutions, and create a leading European Innovation Hub. However, they needed assistance in forming a robust ecosystem of valuable partner organizations, selecting an optimal pop-up location for the hub, setting up the space, and recruiting a competent local team.Without expert guidance, RAG Stiftung faced potential setbacks in achieving their goal of creating a thriving ecosystem that encourages innovation and supports the future of the region.
betahausX successfully laid the groundwork for the new Innovation Hub, called Bryck, in Essen, Germany. By creating an ecosystem that promotes innovation and growth, we've helped lay the groundwork for the future of the region.
In 12 month betahausX provided:
- Concept Development & Analysis: We examined multiple options for a "pop-up space", recommended a suitable location, and developed a compelling ecosystem narrative that stands out among other innovative ecosystems in Europe.
- Space Setup: We assisted in transforming the selected location into a space that fits the needs of future customers (coworking space). We also identified the core value propositions and potential ecosystem-participants.
- Team Recruitment: To ensure smooth operations, we helped RAG Stiftung to hire the most relevant employees for the hub space.
Our collaboration with RAG Stiftung resulted in several benefits:
- Strategic Location Selection: We helped identify the perfect location for the project.
- Value Proposition Definition: We made sure the Innovation Hub offers precisely what is needed to attract the right participants.
- Partnership Attraction: We identified the most relevant partners and helped turn them into ecosystem ambassadors.
