With financial support on a full or part-time basis (2,000 euros or 1,000 euros/month) for six months and an accelerator program, the startups have the opportunity to take their ideas to the next level. With workshops on various topics such as marketing, pitch or sales, the founders are prepared for their entrepreneurial activities. Experienced experts and coaches support them during the program. In addition, the scholarship teams regularly meet entrepreneurs at networking events and workshops, who report on their experiences and with whom they can exchange ideas.

Applications are open to students and graduates of Hessian universities with a first professional degree. The program will start the next funding round from October 1, 2021, and the application deadline for this is July 1, 2021. Contact persons are the university coaches at the start-up advisory services at the respective university.
