As Roland Berger’s CEO states in the new issue of Manager Magazin, which will be available on December 19th, the consultancy and Rocket Internet plan a so-called “super incubator” named Terra Numerata.
Both companies will each hold 50 percent of the incubator, Roland Berger’s CEO Charles-Edouard Bouée told German Manager Magazin.
“Our company will work like a factory and will produce one company with a digital business model after another,” he explains.
That sounds pretty much like what Rocket Internet is doing right now. It’s not only unclear in how far the incubator will differ, nor when and where it will start.
Bouée became a board member of Rocket Internet at September 2014. The joint venture is part of Roland Berger’s new business strategy.
“Looking at the world’s top 20 Internet companies by market capitalization, the need for such a platform becomes apparent: None of them are of European origin, while 13 of those companies come from the US and 7 from Asia,” says Bouée, adding “boosting Europe’s share in this market is the key mission of Terra Numerata.”
