Kicking off the new year, Germany’s largest quality newspaper, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, published an article about local ambitions to build a vibrant startup ecosystem in the Ruhr region – historically known for its rich industrial legacy.
At the heart of this transformation from “steel to startups” is the future-focused innovation hub, BRYCK, backed by the RAG-Stiftung. The article showcases their pivotal role in reshaping the Ruhr region’s fragmented startup landscape into a dynamic hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. By offering founders critical resources, connections, and mentorship, BRYCK has created a fertile environment where startups can flourish unlocking the region’s immense potential to emerge as a major player in the European startup scene.
At vGreens, this support has been instrumental in bringing our vision to life—developing a scalable, AI- and data-driven indoor farming system that revolutionizes year-round, resource-efficient production of nutrient-rich foods. We are beyond thrilled that the feature also touches on our story, showcasing how BRYCK’s work is empowering companies like ours to thrive.
