Goodbye DIZ Rostock. Hello Unisphere (UIC)!

News
In recent years, a lot has happened with us.
Perhaps even more than one name could still carry.
What started as a Digital Innovation Center has grown with every idea, every project, every workshop, every startup, and every collaboration. At some point, it became clear:
It was not our work that became too big – but the framework around it was too small.
Why a new name?
“Digital” is and remains an important part of us.
But it is no longer the only one.
We support startups, build communities, create educational formats, promote knowledge transfer, drive innovation, and bring research into practice. We work with startups, companies, universities, students, and talents – often parallel, often interconnected, often across project boundaries.
In short:
The DIZ was right for the time.
Unisphere is right for what we are today.
A master brand for what belongs together
With the Unisphere Innovation Campus (UIC), we have created a new framework under which everything we have built up in recent years comes together – and we want to continue developing it.
From now on, we will appear uniformly and clearly under this name: on our website, in social media, and throughout our communication.
The Digital Innovation Center will not disappear – it will merge into the campus.
All projects, programs, and offerings will remain in place.
What changes is the common sender:
no longer individual initiatives side by side, but a campus that bundles knowledge, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
A place where knowledge has an impact
The Unisphere Innovation Campus is a place where knowledge comes together, bundles, and translates into impact.
Here, startups are created, communities grow, competencies are built, and ideas are brought into practice.
Our programs and projects interconnect – from entrepreneurship and education to digitalization to social change.
With our in-house expertise in communication, web, and content, we ensure that progress not only occurs but also becomes visible and tangible.
This creates a campus that connects people, knowledge, and implementation – beyond individual projects.
Same hearts. Bigger framework.
We have left nothing behind.
We have expanded the space.
Like a building that gets more floors over time:
The foundation remains – but above, there is room for new things.
New year. New chapter.
Same people, same vision, same energy.
Hello, UIC.
