UAS7 and Startup Incubator Berlin, in collaboration with the German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New York, was pleased to host Pitch Across the Ocean, a transatlantic pitch event that brought together eight innovative startups from the United States and Germany.

Startup teams pitch against each other to win a trip across the ocean! The event takes place on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025: 18:00 - 19:30 h MEZ | 12: 00 pm - 1:30 pm EST

After an extensive test phase and refinement, we’re excited to officially launch UAS7 Startup Connect—a program designed to strengthen the bridge between the German and North American startup and research ecosystems.

To close out the year 2024, we hosted our annual holiday party at the German House on December 19th. It is always a pleasure to organize this event in collaboration with the New York liaison offices of German universities, including the University of Cologne, UA Ruhr , Campus OWL, University of Heidelberg, University of Freiburg, UAS7, and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The UAS7 New York office gets new support with intern Jessica Borja Brito who will be helping in all things social media and event management.

During her internship at UAS7, Mariana has learned a lot about UAS7, Germany and Brazil, and working in an international context.

After six exciting months of interning for UAS7 in New York City, my time in the city that never sleeps has come to an end. I would like to take a moment to look back on this incredible time.

Video now available! On February 1, 2024, UAS7 organized one installation of the #DWIHzeitgeist series on “Science Diplomacy in Practice”. The webinar brought together UAS7 science diplomacy practitioners: Prof. Dr. Lars Ribbe from TH Köln UAS and Prof. Dr. iur.
