Factory Berlin

Factory Berlin operates innovation campuses and a curated business community for startups, growing technology companies and corporate innovation teams. Its work combines physical workspace, community programming, business matchmaking and event production. The company brings entrepreneurs and established businesses together through shared facilities, memberships and partnerships designed to support collaboration and commercial connections.

Founded in 2011 and incorporated the following year, the business developed around the transformation of historic industrial buildings into places for technology companies to work and meet. Its flagship Berlin Mitte campus opened in June 2014 in the restored nineteenth-century Oswald Berliner brewery, beside the former Berlin Wall border strip. Expansion into Hamburg followed in May 2021, extending the company's campus model beyond Berlin.

Workspaces and community

The workspace offering includes dedicated desks, private startup labs, flexible team offices and meeting rooms. Supporting facilities and services include phone booths, recording facilities, business address registration and postal handling. These spaces serve both everyday business operations and gatherings involving founders, technology specialists and corporate teams.

Membership extends beyond access to premises. Factory Berlin offers a digital community, mentor matchmaking and programmes connecting members with peers and innovation partners. Its approach combines workspace provision with an actively curated network, rather than relying solely on the rental of desks or offices.

Events and business connections

The company also provides venue hire and event production for technology conferences, panels, workshops and corporate meetings. Auditorium and lounge formats support different scales of gathering, while its partnership activities connect startups with established organisations across technology and corporate innovation.

In February 2024, the business announced a strategic realignment under the Factory Network umbrella, moving toward a curated business club model. This transition included closing its secondary Görlitzer Park campus and concentrating investment on its Berlin Mitte and Hamburg facilities. The company continues to operate across workspace, community and events, with an emphasis on connecting entrepreneurial businesses and corporate partners.
