Professor Rothe, Digital Entrepreneurship Hub

The Digital Entrepreneurship Hub was founded by professors Rothe, Sundermeier, and Gersch in 2017. The research team of Professor Rothe studies the intersections between data organizing, digital entrepreneurship, and digital infrastructures. Since 2018, the group has focused their attention on entrepreneurs and infrastructures that organize bio data (genomic and phenotype data). As part of this endeavors, the group has launched a global community and international conference series, called Towards Health Futures (next conference 2020 in Austin, Texas, austinhealthfutures.com). Research is conducted in close collaboration with the EMBL EBI and ELIXIR, which reside in Cambridge, UK. As part of the digital entrepreneurship hub, the group works closely with start-ups from FU Berlin and the wider Berlin start-up ecosystem. Professor Rothe coordinates entrepreneurship education at FU Berlin and represents FU Berlin in the board of the European Postdocs-to-Innovators network (www.p2i-network.eu), which gives not only access to a wide array of scientists to work with across Europe but also science-based entrepreneurs to study.
