Dr. Andreas Kuebart is a research associate in the Research Area “Economy and Civil Society” at the Leibniz Institute for Spatial Social Research since 2015. Since mid-2019, he has also been a Post-Doc Fellow at the Chair for Socio-Spatial Transformation at the Brandenburg University of Technology.

His research interests are situated within the disciplinary boundaries of human and economic geography, focusing on the geographies of socio-spatial processes in the context of the digital economy and society. Thematically, his work involves topics related to the financial geographies of entrepreneurial ecosystems, regional development, and health geography. Methodologically, he has been involved in qualitative case studies and applies techniques of spatial data science in his work.

Kuebart studied Geography at Humboldt University of Berlin, the University of Florida (Gainesville), Stockholm University, and Bonn University. In January 2020, he graduated as Dr. rer. nat. from Free University of Berlin. For his dissertation project, he researched the geographies of knowledge in the context of entrepreneurial ecosystems with case studies on seed accelerators in the US and Germany. Since 2020, Andreas Kuebart has been researching spatial-temporal analysis methods as a PostDoc as part of a habilitation.

Projects

Ongoing Third-party Funded Projects

Third-party funded project 12/2023 - 12/2025
StepUP Startups: Redefining Europe’s Startup Landscape With Data-Driven Innovation

In an era where digital innovation and entrepreneurial dynamism take centre stage, a deep understanding of the startup ecosystem in Europe is imperative. The overarching objective of this project is to holistically shed light on the intricacies, challenges, and opportunities permeating Europe's startup domain. Based on a tender of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, the project aims to craft an insightful narrative about Europe's startup ecosystem. more info

Ongoing Cross-departmental Projects

Cross-departmental project 01/2022 - 12/2025
Disruption and Spatial Development: Concepts on Spatio-temporal Dynamics, Modes of Perception and Strategies for Action

The bridge project "Disruption and spatial development: concepts on spatio-temporal dynamics, modes of perception and strategies of action" continues the conceptual elaboration of the disruption heuristic, uses it to interpret empirical findings in the lead project research (and beyond) and, conversely, incorporates suggestions from the empirical research of the lead projects into the further conceptual development. more info
