Formerly called company founders, in times of digitisation startups set the tone with a creative potential that is becoming more and more attractive in the established economy. As Deutsche Bahn sets in motion its various plans to enable comprehensive digital transformation, it is highly interested in innovative approaches from beyond conventional railway technology and traditional procedures. DB mindbox in Berlin provides a forum for unconventional and inventive optimisations that can be applied to the railway system. Its funding programm provides young companies with an effective framework to develop new products and services in short, manageable time frames, bringing them to prototype maturity, in cooperation with the Group's business units and benefiting from DB Systemtechnik's expertise. From DB Group perspective the innovation transfer that results from the work with startups is a further step alongside the multifaceted partnerships DB enjoys for improved and extended operation with representatives from industry, universities and foreign railways.
