The Arch’Triangle x Technical University Berlin

Mobilizing Education for Global Integration

The Innovation Engine Behind The Arch’Triangle

TU Berlin combines Germany’s engineering excellence with startup agility, ranking No. 1 in the EU for tech transfer. With over 35,000 students and €600M+ in research funding, it leads Europe in climate tech, AI, and sustainable mobility. Home to 20+ Fraunhofer institutes and renowned spin-offs like SoundCloud, it’s a place where academic insight becomes a scalable, global impact.

Through The Arch’Triangle Academic Alliance, TU Berlin now serves as the movement’s innovation hub, connecting African urban realities with European technologies to design a more unified future.

More than academia, this partnership is a call to reimagine the role of education in building a future rooted in integration, equity, and innovation. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a borderless future, brick by brick.

TU Berlin’s Role in The Arch’Triangle Vision

Turning Theory into Infrastructure

TU Berlin brings a rare blend of research power and entrepreneurial agility. As part of The Arch’Triangle’s innovation ecosystem, its labs and institutes offer a launchpad to turn complex ideas into scalable infrastructure. From modular housing prototypes to AI-powered planning tools, this partnership can help cities like Enugu leapfrog outdated systems and embrace climate-smart, data-driven solutions.

Designing Cities of Belonging

“United Berlin,” our flagship architectural concept in Germany, serves as a symbol of reconciliation and shared identity. TU Berlin’s strengths in multicultural design, urban integration, and post-conflict city planning make it an ideal academic anchor for this project. We envision joint research exploring how architecture can restore belonging in divided cities, from Berlin to Enugu to Belfast. Together, we can explore how urban form shapes cultural memory and how space can become a tool for healing, inclusion, and dignity.

Scaling Ideas, Bridging Worlds

We envision a pipeline where hydrogen mobility systems tested in Berlin are scaled across African transit networks. Where TU Berlin’s prefab tech unlocks affordable housing at scale. Where African and European students collaborate in real time, co-building museum wings, innovating circular economy systems, and founding ventures that address global challenges. Through this collaboration, we don’t just envision cross-continental learning, we lay the groundwork for scalable, replicable solutions rooted in both innovation and equity.

Be the Capital Behind Cultural Infrastructure

This partnership opens the door for investors, governments, and ecosystem stakeholders to co-develop scalable solutions for housing, infrastructure, and sustainable development across Europe and Africa.

From government-backed grants to high-return tech transfer ventures, here’s what’s possible:

Berlin Senate Grants

If the United Berlin site qualifies under Berlin’s integration and urban renewal policies, investors could unlock Berlin Senate funding, directly tied to social impact and cross-cultural infrastructure.

Tech Transfer

TU Berlin’s cutting-edge prefab systems, AI simulations, and green infrastructure models are ready to scale beyond the lab. Investors gain early access to adapt this technology for housing projects across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, a market with exponential growth potential.

Patent-Backed Ventures

Whether it’s low-emission concrete or circular economy systems, investment here means co-owning IP from Europe’s most prolific tech university. With up to 50% R&D tax credit eligibility in Germany and the EU, your capital works harder and smarter.

Retail Revenue

Generate significant income from 30+ rentable vendor spaces and event venues at "United Berlin", with projections in the millions annually.

Gateway to EU Markets

Leverage TU Berlin’s strategic location in Berlin, Europe’s No. 1 startup hub, to gain market access, build alliances, and scale globally.

De-Risked Innovation

Partners gain access to government-funded urban testing zones such as City-Lab Berlin, reducing R&D costs while ensuring solutions are tested in live, high-impact environments.
