We are deligted to present the first batch in the EXIST Women program: Since the beginning of 2024 the Startup Incubator Berlin of the Business School of Economics and Law is supporting a lively group of 10 aspiring female founders. EXIST Women allows women who are interested in setting up a business to expand their knowledge about starting up and self-employment at an early stage. The program runs up to 12 months of various support offers, and also includes a 3-month scholarship.

Mimosa Akbal – Sustainibility in Hospitals
The founding idea aims to address the challenges in the healthcare sector in the context of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The CSRD obliges companies, including hospitals, to provide transparent sustainability reporting. The founding idea is a digital dashboard that allows hospitals to monitor their sustainability performance in various areas. This tool creates transparency and enables precise data collection to meet the requirements of the CSRD.
Madina Katter with Grains Education
Grains is a learning app and a non-profit hospitality school in Ukraine where Internally Displaced People can study for free. The goal of Grains is to help IDPs to learn skills and get well paid jobs in hospitality industry in Ukraine.
Dr. Philine Erfurt-Sandhu with “Berliner Institut für Governance & Leadership”
Good governance means actively assuming responsibility. As a think tank and training institute, practical action concepts for responsible entrepreneurship are being developed. Active ownership in the supervisory boards and among shareholders will be created and thereby strengthen the social and ecological responsibility of companies.
Salli Martin with Photo Production with AI
The business is a photo production in combination with artificial intelligence. The biggest advantages of the workflow isthat the customers know what their photos will look like before the shooting and that they can save high production costs for locations or lengthy processes.
It is our great pleasure to have these female founders with their strong entrepreneurial mindset around and having the honor to work with them. We are also grateful for the strong support from our network with mentoring, especially Berlin Partner and the IHK Berlin.
The mode is: Learning from each other, supporting each other, keeping up the motivation and the spirit – Women lifting women to success!
