Audi Denkwerkstatt is the digital innovation spearhead of the AUDI AG. Recognized and awarded for running one of the most successful Intrapreneurship programs in Germany, (joint study by Infront Consulting and the magazine Capital, 2019 and 2020), we are launching together with our collaboration partner Techstars a new Entrepreneurship program for ambitious founders: The Founder Innovation Lab.
Our mission: Developing sustainable solutions for the human need of mobility in a digitized world.
The Founder Innnovation Lab is razor-focused on realizing this mission together with you: We support your ambitions all the way towards building a successful venture in the field of mobility. You receive full support to unleash your potential and turn into the founder you always dreamed to be.
From day one, you gain profound venture building expertise, as well as opportunities to connect with a powerful partner network of mentors, founders and investors.
But most importantly: Even if you already founded a startup or are still on the journey to find a perfect co-founder, you have the opportunity to become part of a community of exceptional people driven by the same passions and ambitions.
Come build with us!
The application period for Founder Innovation Lab 2023 has expired. We will inform you here as soon as the application phase for 2024 starts.
Stay tuned for updates!
