history

The Cyberforum was founded on July 4, 1997 by ten partners from science, research, business, administration and finance, initially in the form of a public-private partnership . The initiator was Dr. Friedrich Georg Hoepfner. The founding members are: Vollack Management- und Beteiligungs-GmbH & Co. , Multimedia Association Baden-Württemberg, Sparkasse Karlsruhe , Volksbank Karlsruhe eG , Privatbrauerei Hoepfner GmbH & Co.KG , University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe - HfT (today Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences), University of Karlsruhe (today KIT), Research Center for Computer Science (FZI) at the University of Karlsruhe , Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH (today KIT) and the City of Karlsruhe .

In the early years, the association's work focused primarily on supporting young entrepreneurs in setting up their own businesses, a field of activity that is still very important today. Over the years, both the number of members and the range of tasks of the Cyberforum grow.

In 2010 the Cyberforum for the North Baden region took part in the application of the software cluster "Software innovations for the digital company", which is coordinated in Darmstadt. The cluster wins the federal government's top cluster competition . The North Baden regional coordination office of the software cluster is still part of the Cyberforum.

Cyberforum Service GmbH was founded in 2011, a 100% subsidiary that offers services such as help with preparing funding applications and cluster management, making it possible to separate non-profit and business-promoting projects. The Smart Business IT initiative funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg will also start in 2011, as will the Finish IT qualification program.

In 2013, the Cyberlab was launched as an incubator for start-ups. Also in 2013, the Cyberforum was recognized as the best cluster in Baden-Württemberg and the leading IT network in Europe, as well as being awarded the “Cluster Management Excellence Label Gold” from the European Cluster Excellence Initiative.

The association is also a member of the “go-cluster” initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.
