    1.1 BACKGROUNDInearly2013,ProjectFuturecommissionedtheLeibniz Institute forRegionalDevelop

    ment and Structural Planning to conduct research together with the Geography De

    partment at the HumboldtUniversitt zu Berlin to provide an overview of the phe

    nomenon of innovation and creative labs. The data on the Berlin labs was gathered

    throughdesktopresearch,withfollowuptelephoneinterviewsasneededtoconfirmor

    supplement the information collected. In Berlin, there is a demand for venues and

    roomsfacilitatingthesenewformsofeconomicactivity,aswellasfortheopenspaces

    neededtotestbusinessmodelsandexperimentwith ideas.Berlin isconnectedwitha

    certainlifestyle(theplacetobe),aprofilewhichisalsoperceivedinternationally.The

    Today, fewer innovationsaredeveloped inclosed laboratories. Instead, it is interdisci

    addition,Berlin isa locationwhere ithasbeenpossible to realise showcase initiatives

    Ulti

    mately, Berlin is clearly developing into a location where new models for innovative

    spacescanbebornandtested,andevenexportedtoother locationsas isapparent,

    forexample,intheopeningofafurtherUFALabsinCologne.

    Inincubatorsandaccelerators,companiesandinvestorstestanddevelopnewbusiness

    modelsand ideas (e.g. inthegrowthmarketsofdigitaltechnologies)and,atthesame

    time,gainaccesstotalented foundersandentrepreneurs. Incubatorsandaccelerators

    foster the establishment and development of creative and innovative startups. Thestartups are usually already supported in the early stage of the innovation cycle (in

    some cases, even in the seed and early stage phase). In this way, investors or major

    companiessecureaccess toskilledandentrepreneurialminded talents from theperti

    nent business fields and technological sectors. Here, one can differentiate between

    thesesubtypes:

    Incubators furnish selected startups and teams with seed capital, expertise(personalmentoringandcoachingfromexperts),networkaccessandinfrastruc
