They do still exist in Berlin: large, charming industrial sites that lay dormant for years, waiting for another future. One of these places is MONOPOL – a former distillery located in Reinickendorf, cornering Mitte and Pankow.

A coalition of entrepreneurs has now formed to give this place a new purpose. Over the course of the next years, we will build a campus where humans and companies grow, where we shape the future of the food industry, explore new digital technologies and create space for artistic perspectives.

During our planning phase we are already opening the site as a platform for co-creation and as a place where neighbours, Berliners and people from across the world come together to share, grow and create.
