JoinPolitics is a non-partisan start-up that aims to foster greater participation in politics by identifying and supporting talented individuals with innovative ideas. The organization, primarily based in Germany, seeks to address the declining engagement with political institutions and parties, particularly among younger generations. JoinPolitics functions as an incubator for political innovation, drawing inspiration from best practices in start-ups, civil society, and political parties. It identifies and empowers political entrepreneurs who have implemented local initiatives and have the potential to bring new ideas into politics. Examples include Laura Staudacher and Junge Lausitz, who have campaigned to motivate young people in transformation regions to engage politically, and Rebekka Müller’s talent recruitment and empowerment program within the VOLT party. The organization's goal is not only to encourage more people to enter politics but also to ensure long-term political activism. JoinPolitics aims to help at least 60% of its selected candidates remain active in politics over time. Additionally, it supports the scaling of successful ideas tested in its seed phase and builds a community of change-makers across political parties to foster mutual support and innovation. By focusing on nurturing political talent and promoting innovative political solutions, JoinPolitics seeks to revitalize political engagement and contribute to more effective and responsive governance.
