Human Resources 2023
Let’s take our Human Resources (HR) to the next level, together! We are excited to announce our 6th startup program with the HR department of our corporate Deutsche Bahn (DB) Group. This year, we focus on innovative and disruptive solutions for our most valuable asset – our employees. The challenges of the future are well known – a shortage of skilled workers, changes in generations and values. Can you help us make the work environment more attractive, especially for our operational employees? Can your product inspire young people, strengthen their self-initiative and make our everyday working life more digital? If the answers are yes, lets talk!
Develop your prototype and business model with us and open up new solutions and contents for our employees. This is your chance to work with the HR department of DB on the innovations of tomorrow. What are your benefits?
- Exclusive access to DB experts, data, markets & customers
- Access to an individual coaching program as well as mentoring experts
- EUR 25,000, no equity taken
You will get support of a dedicated DB mindbox startup manager, who is your bridge to the DB world. Plus, the option to work at our coworking space in the center of Berlin with 24/7 access.
This is a great opportunity to lay the foundation for joint projects and successful long-term collaboration with Deutsche Bahn Group, Europe’s largest mobility and infrastructure provider with more than 300.000 employees.

Employee experience
After a successful onboarding, everyday work has begun and routines are set. How can we still constantly highlight the team affiliation and underline that our employees are the essential part of the team DB?

Strengthening of own initiative
As a strong employer we need to meet the demands of the future. This means, that we need self-initiative and intrinsically motivated employees. Help our blue collars workers to get involved.

Shift scheduling
Do you have an AI-based solution that combines scheduling and time tracking? So we can simplify shift planning and enable plausible shift schedule changes directly by our operational staff.
04
Physical wellbeing
The wellbeing of our operational staff is our top priority, which is why we look for hands-on solutions to quickly and effectively relieve them of their physically demanding work.

Wellbeing in the field
Our operational employees are exposed to all kinds of weather and undeveloped work sites when working outdoors. We are looking for your smart, mobile solutions to fulfil the basic needs of our employees (food, warmth, toilet, etc.) - digital and analog.
