Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Content & Metadata Updates app/about-us/page.tsx, app/for-partners/page.tsx	Updated founding year from 2014 to 2003 and "Years Active" from 10 to 20; changed header copy from "Trusted Partners" to "Partners & Collaborators" and main heading from "WITH WHOM WORKED" to "WHO WE WORK WITH".
Events Data & Timeline app/events/page.tsx	Updated event names ("START Legal Hack" → "Munich Hacking Legal"), category ("Workshop" → "Incubator"), and swapped TimelineMarker positions (pitch-network, legal-hack, info-event); updated legend text from "Workshops" to "Incubator".
Homepage Refactoring app/home/page.tsx	Restructured hero images array, added newsIndex state for carousel pagination, reordered headline styling, converted "Backed by brands" section to clickable link with hover styling, replaced hardcoded news cards with data-driven array (slice() pagination), updated stats (Countries: 12 → 17), and adjusted emphasis styling across multiple sections.
Members Page Updates app/members/page.tsx	Updated "Active Members" animated value from 192 to 70, changed hero background image to "/ourMembers/hero.png", added "+" text span to member count, and modified batch member rendering to prioritize members with profileImage.
Startups Page app/startups/page.tsx	Removed alphabetical sorting of filteredCompanies and updated MTZ description expansion from "MünchenTechnologieZentrum" to "Münchner Technologiezentrum".
Component Enhancements components/Hero.tsx	Added optional imagePosition prop to HeroProps with default "center 45%", replacing hardcoded object-[center_75%] with dynamic style binding for configurable background image focal positioning.
Navigation Restructuring components/Navigation.tsx	Added Partner dropdown menu with state/refs for desktop and mobile, replacing single "FOR PARTNERS" link with dropdown containing /for-partners and /partners; split CTA buttons into "APPLY NOW" and external "JOBS" link; reordered mobile community links (moved members/partners to member-network).
