🎓 Twelve weeks ago, they were handed a real challenge. Today, the work speaks for itself.
We're celebrating the students of Tech Talent Program Batch 8—from universities across Berlin, Brandenburg & Dresden—who turned real industry challenges into real outcomes.
Here's what Batch 8 built:
🌱 alcemy—IoT for sustainable concrete
🔥 InfraTec—AI-enhanced fire detection
🚶 @theben_ag —Smart movement detection
💨 Ucaneo—Immersive direct air capture pavilion
🩸 DiaMonTech AG—Automated test station
Proud of every single one of them. 🙌
📅 Join us on May 28, 2026 | Doors open 5:30 PM | MotionLab.Berlin

🛠️ You can build the best prototype in Berlin. But if you can't close your next round—it stays on the workbench.
The third pillar of the Hardtech Innovation Accelerator is your financial runway. And it's built differently.
From financial modelling that survives VC due diligence with nxtmilestone, to warm introductions through @business_angels_club , @htgf.vc & IBB Ventures, to global stages like Slush, Hello Tomorrow & VivaTech—and it all culminates at Demo Day in March 2027, in front of 400+ investors and industry partners.
By the time you leave, you won't just be looking for follow-on financing. You'll be choosing the right partner for your next round.
🚨 One wildcard spot is open until tonight at 23:59. If you're building in B2B robotics, advanced materials, energy, or agritech—this one's for you.
Up to €200,000 in non-dilutive funding. 0% equity. Know a founder who belongs in this room? Share this now.

One wildcard spot. One shot. 🚨
Batch 5 is closed—but we're opening one final spot for founders building in B2B robotics, advanced materials, energy, or agritech.
25 years of hardware expertise across 4 studios. And as Marc Nagel puts it—most breakthroughs die because they're impossible to manufacture at scale. Pilotfish makes sure yours isn't.
And the best part? They're not an external consultant you email and wait on. They're here—in the workshop, working through the hard problems alongside you.
⏰ Deadline: Tuesday, 13 May at 23:59.

Most accelerators hand you a mentor list. We hand you a design partner. 🛠️
Moving from a functional prototype to a pilot-ready product isn't just an engineering challenge—it's a design challenge. That's why @wintdesignlab is part of the Hardtech Innovation Accelerator ecosystem.
Based in Berlin, WINT sits at the intersection of science, design, and technology transfer—helping deep tech founders turn research into real-world physical products.
Here's what working with WINT means for Batch 5 founders:
🎯 Refining product-market fit—solving for the user and the industry at the same time
🌍 Holistic approach—keeping both people and the planet in focus
⚙️ Bridging the TRL gap—turning real technology into a scalable, industrial-grade product
This is the kind of partner network we've built so our founders don't have to figure it all out alone.
Applications close May 10. Join the program via the link in bio ☝️
April bloomed fast. 🌿
This month we hit the workshop, fired up the grill, and welcomed the warmer days with our community BBQ—
good people, good energy, good vibes all around.
🛠️ On the infrastructure side, our new CNC Lab is live—headlined by the OLSK Large CNC Machine from @in_machines . Big thank you to @paul.j.marx for bringing it to life.
🚛 We also welcomed 20 Mubea electric cargo bikes now rolling emission-free out of Hall 17 as part of Amazon's new micromobility hub. Urban mobility is where we started—this feels like a natural next chapter.
👀 Applications for the Hardtech Innovation Accelerator—Batch 5 are still open. 0% equity, up to €200,000 in grant funding. Closes May 10.
This is what our ecosystem looks like in motion. There's a place for you here.

Here's what's on the table:
💶 Up to €200,000 in grants—no strings, no debt
🤝 0% equity—you keep 100% of your company
🛠️ Full access to our hardware powerhouse—CNC, laser cutting, PCB labs & 3D printing

Building a company is harder than building a prototype. 🍕⚙️
That's exactly why we built the Hardtech Innovation Accelerator with partners like Björn Priewe, Startup Consultant at @die_techniker (TK)—so you never have to figure out the hard stuff alone.
✅ Social Pizza—social security as easy as ordering lunch
✅ First hire sorted in one call
✅ From engineer to CEO—leadership coaching included
✅ Built for DeepTech & BioTech founders
And he's not a hotline. He's in the workshop. ☕

The difference between a lab experiment and an industrial product? The ecosystem in your corner. 🧪🏭
Servet brought Ciyano to the MotionLab.Berlin jungle with one mission: taking bioplastics From Lab to Market. Through our Hardtech Innovation Accelerator, he did exactly that—securing the Jury Prize and an EXIST grant while keeping 100% equity. That was Batch 4. Now, Batch 5 is yours. We bring the machinery and the funding; you bring the innovation.
💰 Up to €200,000 (Equity-free grant funding)
🏗️ Full access to high-end prototyping labs
🤝 Expert mentorship to bridge the gap to industry
Don’t just build it—accelerate it. 🚀

🛠️ Your next build deserves the right tools.
We just added the OLSK Large CNC Machine by @in_machines to our lab—and it's a big one. Literally. Full-sheet size, touch display operated, and ready to bring your ideas to life. With 3 CNC machines now running, there's never been a better time to be part of the MotionLab.Berlin community.
Watch Paul walk you through everything this machine can do—he knows it best.
