On September 24, 2025, the symbolic groundbreaking for the Chemical Invention Factory – John Warner Center for Start-ups in Green Chemistry will take place on the Campus Charlottenburg of Technische Universität Berlin.

The new building will become a central site for advancing green chemistry transfer and supporting science-based start-ups. As the successor to the successful INKULAB, it will provide significantly expanded capacity and infrastructure for innovation and technology transfer in green chemistry.

The event will feature an inspiring program with distinguished guests from science, politics, and industry, including:

• Dr. Ina Czyborra, Senator for Science, Health and Care

• Presidential Office of Technische Universität Berlin

• Prof. Dr. John Warner, namesake of the building and co-founder of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry

• Martin Rahmel, Director of the Chemical Invention Factory and Coordinator of greenCHEM

The Berlin chemistry start-up community will also be presented as a key pillar of the city’s sustainable innovation ecosystem.

Participation is by invitation only.
