Our ecosystem partner briefly explained

Community Partner - our strong network of startup funding programmes

With our community partners, we address accelerator programmes and associations that all have a common goal: To promote start-ups from Baden-Württemberg or to network them with profitable corporate partners. We offer an interface between science and business so that a constant exchange can take place. As part of the national campaign, we are thus creating Start-up BW an extensive ecosystem around the country's universities. We achieve this through cross-stakeholder events and jointly created events and programmes.

Our advantages at a glance

What are the benefits of the Next Generation SME community?

Suitable promotion

As part of our extensive scouting process, we look for the right funding programme for all talents and start-ups. If we do not offer any suitable programmes ourselves, we will refer you to our community partners.
