And once again, we’re off on a long trip in the jet-black VIP bus.<\/p>\n
Starting in Stuttgart with a photo op with Minister Hoffmeister-Kraut and a brief stop at Arena 2036, the tour then moved on to Mannheim, a true heavyweight when it comes to startups. Here, structural change was driven by the city through startup hubs. <\/p>\n
I just got on here after we had another meeting with investors in Ulm at 7 this morning.<\/p>\n
Over the past 15 years, Mannheim has invested 80 million in eight centers, 37 million of which came from grants. The structure costs approximately 1.5 million in grants annually; the city employs 30 people in its wholly owned GmbH and approximately five people directly in its economic development department. <\/p>\n
Tax revenue from startups and their employees is, of course, significantly higher than the subsidies.<\/p>\n
Managing Director Sommer: “We have incredible support from everyone here: the mayor, the city administration, and the city council.”<\/p>\n
