We are very happy about teams that come to us from our partner universities - the University of Potsdam, the HPI, the Film University or the SRH Berlin. But we are equally open to teams that are not connected to the universities.
Do you have to locate yourselves in the media industry? Can you apply from other industries?
We are industry-independent and love the mix, because we experience that MediaTech is naturally found in entertainment, but also in industries such as Mobility, Health, SmartGov, Industry 4.0 and many more.

Our goal: to help shape the startup ecosystem in Brandenburg!
The MediaTech Hub Accelerator is the sparring partner for startups in the early stages. We are tech-driven and think across sectors. A look at our portfolio shows what we mean by this. One part can be assigned to the areas of film, music, storytelling or fashion, the other part includes sectors such as construction, Industry 4.0, food tech, digital health or smart government.
Our goal, together with the initiators University of Potsdam, Hasso Plattner Institute and Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, is to offer teams an individually tailored post-founding program. At the same time, we want to strengthen the startup ecosystem in Potsdam and Brandenburg through our expertise and community.
Early-stage startups are given the opportunity to further develop their business models, build their own valuable networks and acquire skills in pitching, marketing/PR, sales, HR/recruiting, go-to-market, UX/UI, legal and tax issues and fundraising.
Since our launch in 2019, around 40 teams have been added to the portfolio, raising around €22 million in fundraising. Most important and valuable, however, is our community: around 70 founders are part of the MTH Accelerator. Their knowledge and support helps all new teams.
Part of a strong regional network
The special feature of our program is the association of strong partners from Potsdam and Brandenburg. The MTH Accelerator 2019 was initiated by the University of Potsdam, with the Hasso Plattner Institute and the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF. The SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences has been a partner university since 2021. We are therefore very happy to welcome teams who have a connection to these universities, either because they are just about to finish their startup consultancy at the universities or because they have already founded a company as alumni but would like to return to the old familiar environment.




Networking to enrich the startup ecosystem for Brandenburg
Startups, agencies or other companies with an innovative character are in good hands in Brandenburg and the metropolitan region. The network is very close and the opportunities for funding programs are very good. Many of these partners come together in the MTH Accelerator.
