mission

Our goal is the growth of our members

CREATORS ECOSYSTEM is a ScaleUp network for technology companies in Stuttgart. We connect founders, startups, and enterprises through coaching, hackathons, investor meetups, and an active community of over 1,000 members and 50+ partners — focused on AI and robotics.

But what does scaling actually mean? More employees means more scaling and therefore more success? We don't see it that way. AI shows us how digital business models can drive rapid growth — without it being just about headcount. We give our community early access to AI tools through our partners.
