InnovationsCentrum Osnabrück

In the location's words:

We start up playfully - philosophy

True to Albert Einstein's motto "Creativity is intelligence having fun", we are the perfect place for innovative, technology-driven start-ups. Especially in the early phases of a start-up, the right contacts and an inspiring exchange of ideas are essential - and that's exactly what you'll find with us. We not only offer you sufficient space for your ideas, but also support you in all aspects of founding a company. After all, you want your start-up to grow successfully and become something big.

Space and support - approach

The ICO functions like a creative flat-sharing community full of exciting minds and unique personalities. We want our startups to enjoy their work and support them in a variety of ways. But in addition to the joy of founding a company, we also attach great importance to pragmatism and a down-to-earth approach. We connect you with the right experts who can offer you valuable advice. The ICO is a place of freedom and curiosity where you can tinker, give free rein to your creativity and drive projects forward together. We wish you not only a lot of fun, but above all a lot of success.

Ideal conditions for ideas - start-ups almost in the countryside with strong regional partners

Thanks to our proximity to the Westerberg campus of Osnabrück University and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, which was built on the site of a former British barracks, we offer optimal connections to the university's engineering and IT departments as well as the natural sciences. With almost 30,000 students, you have access to a wide range of specialist knowledge and skills that can give your project a decisive boost.

Focus on sustainability - buildings

Sustainability plays a central role at the ICO. We rely on geothermal energy and use renewable energies to heat and cool the building efficiently. Thanks to our photovoltaic system, we produce some of our own electricity. As a result, we almost reach passive house standard and at the same time offer you low operating and ancillary costs.

Regional support - a joint project

The ICO is supported by strong regional partners: Sparkasse Osnabrück, Stadtwerke Osnabrück AG, the city and district of Osnabrück. We also benefit from funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Employment and Transport.
