About us

The Collective Incubator was founded by students in 2017 and is now a project of RWTH Aachen University. Since 2019, it has been funded as part of the Excellence Start-up Center NRW programme of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.


One of the great features of the Collective Incubator is that it is still run jointly by committed students and a professional team. As a university council member once said: "The students have to own it".
