This project had the goals to improve Digital Transformation in the city, the investor in leaders and teams, created for entrepreneurs with the aim of retaining the talent generated in Wolfsburg, which has the collaboration of the University of Ostfalia, Business Partner and the City of Wolfsburg.
In 2018, the Stadtwerke Wolfsburg AG built a functionalist construction situated in the heart of the city’s downtown district. The facility’s location, onsite transportation access, and proximity to the airport (Berlin or Hanover) are attractive to commuters from across the metro area (Metropol Region).
The newspace has the capacity as a modern office with an integrated Data Center and the objective of establishing a business incubator is to accelerate business growth and success and decrease the likelihood of failure. This in turn creates new jobs, diversifies the industrial base, and enhances the quality of life in the community.
This initiative aims to create high technology Projects and to make the Region a preferred investment iHUB for technology companies while reaffirming North Germany existing position as a premier ICT location. Committed to the new duties given, Wobcom’s team set out on ideas to formulate a strategic blueprint.
After this experience and a lot of projects in the city, the Stadtwerke Wolfsburg AG, have decided to invest more in Innovation and R&I (Research and Innovation).
