Growing together

Very few companies can keep up with the diversity and speed of technological progress on their own.  That is why we have founded the ACENT Innovation Hub. A partnership in which young technology consultancies with fresh ideas benefit from our experience and market access.

Starting a business is incredibly difficult. Many of us support start-up companies or have founded businesses ourselves and firmly established them in the market. We have learnt one thing in the process: A stable financial basis is important, but the success of a company is ultimately determined by its people, the services offered and its access to the market.

The ACENT Innovation Hub is a completely new path in the world of investment companies. We combine our expertise and resources with those of young technology consultancies to form a joint service offering that would never have existed without this partnership. We manage sales, projects and portfolio development together. Our focus is not on the financial exit, but on a long-term perspective: growing faster together than any company could alone. This kind of trust-based collaboration gives you plenty of room for individual development – both inside and outside the ACENT Innovation Hub.

Shape your entrepreneurial future with us! 

Our unique partnership model

Our investment in your company is the key to a strong partnership. It fosters a close relationship as it is based on trust and long-term objectives. The core of our model is the development and marketing of a joint service portfolio. We aim for a balanced distribution of project tasks so that we grow equally.


Shape the future of your business with the ACENT Innovation Hub – a platform that shapes the path to success of innovative ideas.

Long-term collaboration

We enter into long-term partnerships with innovative technology consulting firms in order to grow together. Therefore, the start-up phase is particularly important to us. Before starting our cooperation, we will discuss what the partnership could look like in a practical context and when both sides will consider it a success. If our cooperation criteria match and the team spirit is right, we will create a joint offer of services in several workshops. During this process, we focus on synergies from which we benefit equally in our cooperation. On this basis, we create a roadmap for the first 18 months. If this is suitable for both parties, we will invest and start working together.
