We design and operate tech campuses for entrepreneurs
Factory designs and operates startup hubs dedicated to technology and entrepreneurship. Our model focuses on clustering fast-growing startups and international technology companies, and providing them with flexible, well-designed office space and additional communal areas for networking, sharing and collaboration.
We are a team of passionate entrepreneurs and have collaborated and hosted events with some of the biggest brands in the startup and technology sectors. Our campuses have been recognized by local and national goverments for their benefit in urban development and to the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In early 2016 Factory acquired the grassroots, Berlin-based, international tech community 'Silicon Allee' and launched its own Cafe & Bar brand 'R/D': a free, buzzing coworking and event hotspot hosted in each Factory location.
