“We are the tough sparring partner who isn’t afraid to press where it hurts – so founders can create products that truly solve problems.” 

With this mindset, Katja Richter, CEO of the MediaTech Hub Potsdam, is shaping the hub’s development and its approach to supporting founders in Brandenburg. 
 
As a guest on the FKTG Podcast, she paints a picture of Babelsberg as a media innovation hotspot, where research, creative industries, and cutting-edge technologies come together. She discusses the hub’s role as the new Startup Centre for Brandenburg, the expansion of its Accelerator programme, and the vision of a physical space where start-ups, companies, and experts meet to drive innovation through close collaboration. 

A key focus: Female Founders. Despite structural barriers and limited access to networks, women founders in Eastern Germany are outperforming the national average. Katja shares why their success stories must be told – and asks what could happen if they received the support they truly deserve.
