Ralf is driven by developing science-based entrepreneurship culture at Universities and Research Centres and connecting these  startup ecosystems with other Innovators, Investors and Companies. Within the EXIST Program we provide a variety of funding instruments to supports especially early stages of developing an entrepreneurship culture.  Ralf's passion isn't just about business; it's about nurturing dreams into reality - from the idea to going global. When he's not mentoring, you might find him exploring hidden startup opportunities and innovative founders and networks. Based in Berlin, Ralf builds bridges between science-based ideas and the supporting network.
