We support and encourage Bamberg students, researchers, and graduates with founding their own enterprises – from the initial idea to the founding of new start-ups.

We would love to hear more about your ideas, no matter where they have come from – perhaps your personal undergraduate, postgraduate or habilitation dissertation, a larger research project or simply a personal passion? We will work with you to evaluate the business potential of your idea and support you as you develop it further with consulting and a comprehensive range of education, training, and networking opportunities.

In our calendar, you can view all our workshops and events at a glance.
