“A good network is so important because a network is more than the sum of the individual players. Not everyone can do everything themselves, but needs to know someone who can help.”

“Successful startups are created when the right people with the most promising ideas come together at the right time. Being able to support this motivates me and is fun. And I always learn something new.”

“The NXTGN network is a real game changer for the academic world! The direct exchange with innovative founders inspires my research and allows it to grow beyond the ivory tower. What's particularly exciting is that our proximity to politics opens up new opportunities to translate scientific findings into concrete policies.”

“All players in the Baden-Württemberg startup ecosystem are pursuing the same major goal: to produce more successful startups. NXTGN pulls many threads together here and forms the supra-regional network that develops potential through synergies and mutual support and helps us to achieve this goal together.”

“As a university that places great emphasis on entrepreneurship, we have the ideal partner in NXTGN, which supports us in our work with its large network, organizes top-class events and strengthens networking with other universities - that really helps us all move forward.”

“It is now impossible to imagine Baden-Württemberg without NXTGN - I am part of the ecosystem in order to broaden my horizons through the initiative's excellent offers and events and to get to know people from business, politics and science who are enthusiastic about startups.”
