Our focus at Maschinenraum
Sharing experiences & knowledge
Peer-to-peer learning
80% of the challenges faced by family businesses are similar. Maschinenraum provides a secure space for German-speaking family businesses and their employees to connect, exchange ideas and learn. We consolidate questions, share best practices and solve challenges together – through exchange within the departments, transcending hierarchies, and through targeted networking.
Sharing resources & capabilities
We join forces together
Transformation means modernization and new approaches throughout all departments. We support each other punctually in the essential core areas of transformation by jointly building resources and capabilities. We join forces and leverage synergies in specific areas to become faster and better together.
Maschinenraum space
Our space in Berlin
In Europe, Berlin stands out as the capital with the most exciting innovation and startup scene. Many family businesses seek proximity to startups, international talent, and a place to innovate away from existing structures and routines. Together, we share this infrastructure in Berlin. On 4,500 m², an old factory building has been transformed into the most dynamic space for family businesses, international startups, and investors. A unique place for work and networking, as well as workshops, events, or other special occasions.
