The Supernova Group is joining ATechX, the Innovation & Venture Platform of Aroundtown, as a new partner. With this addition, ATechX once again expands its extensive partner network, which recently welcomed LEG Immobilien, underscoring its continued commitment to fostering innovative solutions. The Supernova Group’s portfolio comprises retail properties across Central and Eastern Europe and is complemented by its strong expertise in the retail sector, providing startups with valuable market insights and practical testing opportunities in store environments.
This makes the partnership a strong complement to the existing portfolios of other partners and creates an even broader foundation for providing startups with additional test environments, scalable pilot settings, and valuable market expertise. Other partners of ATechX are Vonovia, LEG, Round Hill Capital, Fifth Wall, and noa.
Hands-on Innovation Support for Startups
ATechX supports startups that bring digital, technological, or sustainability-driven solutions to the real estate sector – from planning and financing to leasing and operations. As part of the four-month program, founders gain access to a powerful network of leading industry players and realistic testing environments within the European portfolio of Aroundtown and its partners. The current cohort benefits directly from this practical approach, enabling them to further develop and validate their innovations within real estate projects.
Supernova Group as a Strong New Partner
The Supernova Group, a leading private real estate company focused on high-quality retail properties in Central Europe, enhances the ATechX partner portfolio with deep market knowledge, development expertise, and a large, high-quality property portfolio. With its long-term buy-and-hold strategy, its focus on sustainable project development, and its coverage of the entire value chain in the commercial real estate sector, Supernova Group provides ideal conditions for hands-on piloting and joint innovation initiatives.
“ATechX offers startups something unique: the opportunity to test their ideas in active properties and operations, enabling them to reach market readiness faster and more efficiently. By expanding our partner network with strong partners such as the Supernova Group, we are creating even more diverse opportunities and environments across different parts of Europe in which founders can test and advance their innovations,” says Barak Bar-Hen, CEO of Aroundtown.
