Start-up support
We connect talented individuals, help you develop your skills and support you through your start-up journey. You’ll receive guidance, feedback and access to relevant opportunities at the three universities.
Your entrepreneurial spirit deserves more than just a vague “someday”: do you have an idea that could make a difference in the Black Forest or even the world? We are your starting point and anchor for entrepreneurial thinking and action.
Your plan, our expertise: with strategic advice, knowledge and a strong network, we’ll guide you step by step through the implementation process.

About us
The Black Forest Start-up Spirit is a joint initiative of the University of Freiburg and the universities of Furtwangen and Offenburg. Our mission is to connect people, ideas and expertise across geographical and institutional boundaries.
We bring together the region’s strengths to give your project the best possible start: with start-up advice, events, programmes, a strong network and support every step of the way, from the initial idea to a successful launch.
