FAQ

No, not necessarily. As a state accelerator, we promote activities here in the state. However, if your startup comes from another federal state or even country, then you must have a vested interest in finding customers in Baden-Württemberg or founding here.
-
No, we attach great importance to variety. This means that we organise the Kickoff, the Strategy Workshop, the Summer School and the Startup Day on site at the BadenCampus. The remaining workshops are completely remote.
