FUBIC is the future

The FUBIC (short for Business and Innovation Center next to Freie Universität Berlin Campus) is currently being developed on a premises in the direct vicinity to Freie Universität Berlin (FUB University). The soon-to-be Innovation Campus will be home to technology-focused start-ups and young companies in the fields of life sciences, health, and computer science. Located on Fabeckstrasse in Berlin-Dahlem amidst a park-like area with many old trees, its centrepiece – the new innovation centre in the former US military hospital building – will attract up to 80 companies once the building is completed.

The FUBIC building itself as well as the entire campus infrastructure is funded by the Joint Federal/Länder Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures (GRW). GRW funds account for 90% of the entire project.

FUBIC offers modern workspaces for knowledge-based industries in a green living environment and in the direct vicinity to science and research facilities. This will include offices, physical and chemical labs, and flexible co-working spaces, where individuals or entire company departments can rent the space they need. The FUBIC Innovation Centre enables start-ups to hit the ground running with a perfect infrastructure and state-of-the-art technical equipment at a great price.

Since one section of FUBIC – the fifth floor – is being developed without the use of public funding, it does not have any limitations on age and size of the companies settling in. The top floor of FUBIC’s total six stories will also be a home for established companies who seek to be closer to science, research, and young start-ups.
