GETEQ Gesellschaft für teilhabeorientiertes Qualitätsmanagement mbH is a Berlin-based non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige GmbH) founded in 2012 that delivers participation-oriented quality management, education, and consulting services for people with learning difficulties and disabilities. It operates on the Peer Principle, staffing its evaluation, education, and accessibility work with people who themselves have disabilities, including staff sourced from external workplaces such as the faktura gGmbH sheltered workshop.

The core proprietary product is meiwi©, a peer-based, ICF-compliant evaluation instrument for measuring satisfaction and effectiveness in disability and social services, with a Starter-Paket sub-product first deployed for the Albert Schweitzer Stiftung. Adjacent service lines include Inklusive Bildung (inclusive education: Easy Language workshops, election workshops, Wohn-Führerschein housing course), Barrierefreiheits-Checks (accessibility audits for buildings and digital platforms), Inklusive Projektbegleitung (inclusive project consulting), and EUTB independent participation counseling at one of 18 Berlin centers.

GETEQ's revenue is generated through project contracts with disability service providers (die reha e.v., Albert Schweitzer Stiftung, faktura), public-sector commissions (Berlin Senate administrations, Jugendberufsagentur, LAGeSo/Inklusionsamt, Berliner Landeszentrale für politische Bildung), and foundation grants (Aktion Mensch, Paritätischer Gesamtverband). Pricing is project-by-project and not publicly disclosed, except workshop tiers (e.g., 500 EUR per group for the Berlin election workshop, 120 EUR for the 6-day Wohn-Führerschein course). Distribution is exclusively direct via commissioned project contracts; there is no commercial sales motion and no published pricing model.

Direct peers

• rehaKIND e.V. German non-profit supporting families of children with disabilities through peer support and information services. Comparable peer-led inclusion approach, with comparable mission around participation and accessibility, although focused on pediatric/family segment.
• Specialisterne Foundation: International non-profit that assesses, trains, and employs people with autism and other disabilities through a peer-driven model. Highly comparable to GETEQ's peer-based evaluation methodology and disability-employment focus, with active operations in Germany.
• myAbility: Austrian/German social enterprise building digital and workplace inclusion for people with disabilities. Comparable to GETEQ's accessibility audits, inclusive project consulting, and employer-facing services (e.g., Jugendberufsagentur work).
• die reha e.v. Berlin social services organization and GETEQ's closest operational partner, sharing staff, offices, and joint programming. Operates disability services, EUTB counseling, and civic participation projects in the same inclusion ecosystem.
• Fürst Donnersmarck-Stiftung: Berlin-based foundation supporting people with physical disabilities through rehabilitation, housing, and inclusive employment programs. Comparable to GETEQ's quality measurement and inclusion work in Berlin's disability services sector.

Others

• Aktion Mensch: Germany's largest private inclusion funder and a major GETEQ project partner.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Behindertenhilfe und Psychiatrie: Large nationwide German welfare organization's division providing disability and psychiatric services. Comparable as a major disability-services provider that could be both a customer for ICF-compliant quality measurement and a competitor for evaluation contracts.
• Lebenshilfe Berlin e.V. Large Berlin-based disability advocacy and service organization that commissioned GETEQ's digital participation survey. Comparable as a Berlin disability-services incumbent with broader member-service portfolio but overlapping inclusion-policy mission.
