What others say about us
THE MISSION is an inspiring initiative in which young talent and established companies work hand in hand. Our common goal is to bring about long-term positive changes in the economy, society and for our planet.
Walter Sinn
Managing Partner Bain & Company
In a time full of challenges, we need answers in the form of innovation — including in packaging and waste management. And we know that if we all pull together, we can achieve even more. That is our “why” behind THE MISSION Waste and its partners.
Mario Federico
President & Managing Director McDonald's Germany
Thanks to FUTURY, we have found a strong cooperation partner like Nestlé. Together, we were able to achieve numerous milestones in the areas of product protection, laboratory testing and production preparation. We have also successfully launched retail pilots — with Nesquik as the first brand.
Maximilian Bannasch
Co-Found & CEO Circolution GmbH
We — my co-founders and I — met during THE MISSION Waste. As a result of the program's strong market push and close cooperation with corporates and customers, we are currently building a fast-growing company that recently received funding of 1.75 million euros and is seeing a strong market response.
Vivian Loftin
Co-Founder Recyda
We benefited greatly from the fact that we had easy access to decision makers in the industry. During THE MISSION, we worked with seven corporate partners to achieve business-critical milestones. To this day, we continue to work with most of them.
David Schoen
Co-Founder of vEPA Vertical Parking
As a British startup, it is usually not easy for us to gain access to players in the construction and real estate sectors in new markets. By participating in the MISSION Construction program, we were able to get in touch with the German market and learn more about the challenges.
Lucy Lyons
Co-Founder & CEO, Kestrix
THE MISSION Food not only gave us access to customers and partners from manufacturing, retail and catering, but also helped us develop and scale our business model. This is much more than just a typical accelerator program!
Elvira
Founder Brew Bites
Thanks to THE MISSION Food, we were able to establish contacts with leading companies along the agrifood value chain, including Nestlé, Lidl and Metro.
Tom Leenders
Co-Founder Neri`te
Long-term thinking and responsible action are part of our identity at WISAG. This is why innovations are needed: New products and business models are the basis for a future worth living in. Together with the Futury Ecosystem, we integrate start-ups into our digital and sustainable transformation and value The Mission as a platform for innovative ideas and continuous exchange.
Till Eichenauer
Head of Digital Transformation & Innovation at WISAG
The future team in the background has really helped to establish contacts, and you can use their network to expand your team, get concrete feedback and support, and become visible through their channels.
