Startups & Founding

Starting your own business: one career path among many – and perhaps yours?

Are you considering launching your own startup, or just curious about how starting a business actually works? Our workshops will help you find out whether this career path is right for you.

We will provide you with practical knowledge about starting a business:

  • From the initial business idea to developing a business model.
  • How do I present and market my idea?
  • What financing options are available?
  • How can I use AI in the development of my startup?

The focus is on sustainable and social business models. And we address the question of what international students need to consider when starting a business in Germany.

In addition to our workshops, we also offer individual startup consultations. If you have specific questions, book an appointment right away by sending us an email.

We support lecturers and advisors in integrating entrepreneurship education into their courses and consulting services.
