Start-up counsel
Particularly in the early start-up phase, founders need financial resources to promote their business idea and fill it with life. Public grants can provide a financial boost for start-ups. Depending on the business idea, different federal and state funding programs are available.
The EXIST Business Start-up Grant
With the EXIST Business Start-up Grant, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy promotes the development of a business idea into a business plan, the development of marketable products and innovative services as well as the targeted preparation of a start-up.
With EXIST Transfer of Research, research results that have the potential to become the basis for founding a company should first be developed further in the scientific establishment of a university or non-university research institution. With this, the basic technical feasibility of the product idea is ensured and a foundation can take place.
Helmholtz Enterprise is an instrument that supports targeted preparations for a technology-based spin-off.
The program "Junge Innovatoren" of the MWK is an instrument to support start-ups from universities and non-university research institutions in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
