Frequently asked · About

What you want to know about the initiative.

Question 01

Who operates Innovation Republic today?

Until an Innovation Republic e.V. of its own is founded, vencly GmbH (Munich, HRB 290524) acts as operating sponsor, including platform operations, contract handling and data protection responsibility. Responsible: Clemens Pompeÿ.

Question 02

When will the association be founded?

The sponsoring entity — planned as Innovation Republic gGmbH — is being formed. Non-profit status under § 52 AO was already decided positively in a preliminary review by the Munich tax office 3 in December 2025. Until formal registration, the initiative runs under vencly's sponsorship with a transparent use of funds.

Question 03

Where is Innovation Republic active regionally?

The pilot region is Munich & Upper Bavaria with its more than 460,000 companies and businesses. We want to roll out across Germany through regional partnerships — each region gets a hub of its own with local branding and political patronage.

Question 04

How can you take part without being an SMB or a provider?

Several ways: as a funder (donations, regional partnership, pilot programme), as a partner (bringing in your own best-in-class offering and becoming visible in the cockpit), or as an ambassador in your own network. Write to us at [email protected].
