About us

R-Factory eG

Cross-border, bridging borders, international, and collaborative: with 30 members, R-Factory eG brings together the strengths of the EUREGIO, stretching from Münster through Osnabrück—Lower Saxony’s startup capital—to Enschede. With seven universities, over 130,000 students, and 30 strong members, we bring together the right ingredients for innovation in the fields of FinTech, industrial resilience, and much more. We are the driving force behind an innovative economy and optimal growth conditions for the science-based startups of tomorrow and “the next economic miracle”!

What we do:

We are the central platform for innovation programs with a unique selling point (USP): We bring the right stakeholders together to create the best possible conditions for growth at the intersection of companies, startups, and young university talent. Why? We believe that a new economic miracle can only emerge from these ingredients. 

To build a strong economy for tomorrow, foster new technologies, and support innovative startups, we are working on the following:

The R-Factory is the central point of contact in the EUREGIO for SMEs and corporations that want to implement innovation and are seeking new solutions to real-world challenges in order to promote corporate innovation. At the same time, we’re developing strategies and programs to foster the long-term growth of startups and keep them in the region. We design network- and innovation-driven programs: workshops, training sessions, events, venture clienting projects, and more.

You as part of R-Factory:

Shaping the future together requires many small ingredients. And you could be one of them! 

With us, you’ll have responsibility and make an impact from day one, helping to shape programs and projects that define Europe as a hub of innovation. Through R-Factory’s startup vibe, our flat hierarchies, and flexible work arrangements, we create an environment where ideas grow and people thrive. 

Your direct access to a unique network of startups, investors, mentors, and corporate partners opens doors that remain closed elsewhere. You won’t just be working with the shapers of tomorrow’s future—you’ll be one of them!

We’re not looking for perfect résumés, but for people with an entrepreneurial spirit, passion, and the drive to make a difference. Even if you don’t meet all the requirements, apply anyway! We look forward to meeting people who want to actively help shape the ecosystem.
