Partners about us
At 5-HT Digital Hub we are building an international ecosystem of startups, corporates and network partners. Supporting entrepreneurs in a startup-centric way is crucial for us, especially when it comes to international scaling. The Russian startup ecosystem contains highly innovative startups in the chemical and health sector. Also, the market size offers a huge potential for foreign startups to engage with several players. By working together with GenerationS we join forces to enable cross-border innovation between Germany and Russia. This collaboration offers a great potential to bring both startup ecosystems closer together.
Marco R. Majer
Head of Ecosystems, 5-HT Digital Hub
By joining forces with GenerationS, we have been able to attract a number of promising projects in the field of reproductive medicine and fertility. We reviewed more than 70 startups from Russia and neighboring countries. Based on the selection and evaluation of results, our company supported a project related to the development of new methods for preserving fertility. It will extend reproductive opportunities for women after suffering an oncological disease and allowed them to become mothers of healthy children. Collaboration with GenerationS gave us a chance to expand the scope of the search for technologies and find promising projects in the field of reproductive medicine to improve the quality of life of people. I thank GenerationS for their professionalism and fruitful cooperation!
