INNOVATION HUB FOR CONSTRUCTION AND RETAIL
We are the “Future & Innovation Hub” of the multi-national Umdasch Group. We bring together experienced strategists and creative minds to make retail and construction fit for the future. To do this, we are equipped with experimental and financial capabilities. Our focus is on new technologies and potentially disruptive, radical business models.
In Umdasch Group Ventures, we invest in promising business ideas by founding new companies or by making strategic investments in mature start-ups and young companies.
OUR MISSION
Analyzing future trends and requirements, evaluating
the latest technologies and deriving potentially disruptive business models for construction and retail – that is the
core of what we do. The focus here is on industrialization, automation, standardization and digitization along construction processes or purchasing processes. With our work, we want to find answers for future business fields and realize them through our own development projects or strategic investments in interesting companies.
YOUR CHANCE
We are a start-up investor, company creator and, above all, a solution provider. We bring knowledge and experience that fresh ideas and young entrepreneurs need to successfully establish themselves in the market. In the Innovation Hub of Umdasch Group, we have the necessary resources to sustainably finance such ideas. A strong network and the structures of the Umdasch Group are our basis for making processes in the construction and retail industries fit for the future. We see ourselves as an incubator and accelerator.
