Based on population, Bremen is one of the most active German states according to the current Startup Monitor 2020. In the top ten of the German startup universities, the University of Bremen shares rank four with the Technical University of Munich (LMU) and the University of Mannheim.

“The Startup Monitor 2020 confirms the University of Bremen’s role as an activator in the field of startup support and the development of entrepreneurial networks through research, teaching, and transfer. In the future, our activities must aim to strengthen the university’s role as an important promoter of the Bremen innovation and startup landscape”, emphasizes Professor Jutta Günther, Vice President Research.
