Founders' Bootcamp

Goal
Get a practical introduction into the most important aspects of setting up a business

Brief description
For more than 10 years, we have been organizing practice-oriented training for founders. To date, over 1,000 people have taken part in this three-day compact seminar. Over 100 startups with interesting business ideas have already emerged from the trainings.

Target group

Anyone who is generally interested in entrepreneurship, starting their own business or working in a young company
