Statements

„When we made the decision of where

to set up our company, we chose Berlin

over San Francisco because so many

people from different countries live here.

(We knew) we could build an inter-

national team with them. I am excited

about this city’s diversity – in both its

culture and population.”

Ijad Madisch, Managing Director ResearchGate GmbH
