WISTA - A² Accelerators

A² Accelerator, based in Berlin, supports startups from the fields of smart city, energy, building and water management, sensor technology, IT security, LoRaWAN, and wastewater systems with €5,000 in financial support, coaching, pilot project implementation with industry partners (e.g., Aareal Bank, Alliander, Berliner Wasserbetriebe), access to networks (ZVEI, bne), and free coworking spaces in Adlershof. The program focuses on cross-sector cooperation between startups and established companies, does not take equity stakes, and offers individually tailored consulting, including pitch training and modern methods such as design thinking.
