Founders with sustainable solutions for the finance and real estate sector can apply until September 17.

Frankfurt, August 24, 2023 – With TechQuartier’s Green Transformation Incubator, pre-seed to seed stage startups have the chance together with business experts, mentors and industry executives to tackle some the most important challenges to create solutions for the sustainable finance and real estate industries. The free nine-week program takes place between late October and mid-December in Frankfurt and is sponsored by the Hessen Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Housing and supported by numerous partners including Helaba, ING, Deutsche Börse Group and neosfer.

A platform for green pioneers

In the current climate, the urgent need for sustainable change is increasingly apparent, especially through initiatives such as the European Green Deal.

A study by FINANCE and LBBW underpins the growing importance of green impulses for the financial sector. For example, 74 percent of the decision-makers from banks surveyed reported that stakeholders' need for sustainability information had increased over the past twelve months.

Against this background, TechQuartier’s Green Transformation Incubator embodies a perfect platform for future-oriented exchange. Founders in the finance and real estate sectors are the focus here. They are given the opportunity to make contacts, gain valuable knowledge and prepare for the upcoming financing round. On-site events in the TechQuartier in Frankfurt alternate with in-person office hours every two weeks with mentors and experts.

Expertise, inspiration and partnership

A diverse network of partners dedicated to making finance more sustainable support the program. Company representatives, mentors and investors bring their extensive experience and innovation know-how to provide deep insights for participants.

The workshops, masterclasses and evening events cover a wide range of topics. These include pitching, fundraising, sales, Sustainable Finance, ESG Management and Green Real Estate. Topics such as market fit, blockchain’s ability to increase the transparency of green financial products and the integration of smart home systems affecting the value of real estate will be explored by experts from the field.

Applications are open until September 17.

The program runs for nine weeks beginning Oct. 23 and ending Dec. 13. The application deadline is September 17, so founders should apply soon to give their idea for a more sustainable finance or real estate industry a boost.
