BITZ – Bremen Innovation and Technology Centre

The founding of the Bremen Innovation and Technology Centre, or 'BITZ', in 1985 marked the beginning of a story of success: the University of Bremen and BITZ became the nucleus of the Bremen Technology Park, a  high-tech hub that is buzzing with entrepreneurial energy, innovation and dynamism. BITZ is the ideal location if you are starting a new company, growing your existing one or realising innovative business ideas.

The centre provides all the basic components that you need to make your venture a success: as well as benefiting from individual advice and assistance, you will be given access to funding programmes and finance solutions that are tailored to your specific requirements. Ambitious entrepreneurs can take advantage of this end-to-end support right from day one. As part of our business support programme, we will help you to create a solid business plan. And you will have access to various financial benefits as well as our office management services and inhouse facilities.

BITZ will give you the boost you need to turn your business ideas into reality. Get in touch with us now.
