Ute Weiland
CEO, Germany - Land of Ideas
I have known Jonas for many years. He is passionate about better
solutions for cities and a talented networker. I admire his strong sense for vision,
strategy and action and we are happy to collaborate with Urban Impact on finding
innovative solutions.
Wiktor Warchołowski
Co-founder, Airly
Jonas and Dominik were helping us with developing a strategy in Germany for our air quality monitoring system. They provided wonderful expert advice on that and helped us with the first pilot in Berlin which led to significant interest from the German market. These guys would be wonderful additions to any urban-tech start-up looking to expand in Europe.
Matthias Heskamp
Chairman, paper planes e.V. & Co-Initiator, Radbahn
For the last year, Dominik and Jonas have supported us with hands-on advice
and networking on how to push Berlin’s trailblazing Radbahn project forward. Based on one of
their suggestions, we now can count ourselves lucky to have been awarded over 2m€ in funding
from the German federal government - bringing the actual implementation of Radbahn significantly
closer to reality.
Jan Lachenmayer
Managing Director, enpact
The field of Urban Innovation is in need of bridge builders between the
diverging worlds of city governments, startups and Venture Capital. I believe Jonas and Dominik
are key actors to make this happen and with this change the landscape of urban innovation as
well as impact investing.
Sophie Münzberg

Urban Impact played a seminal role in co-designing and facilitating the

entertaining learning experience for our global awardees.
