What is the aim of the seminar?
Please note! The location for this event may be subject to change!
Since the beginning of 2012, we have been a partner of the EXIST start-up program Gründungsstipendium/Forschungstransfer of the Federal Ministry of Economics. On behalf of the Projektträger Jülich/PtJ, we offer EXIST scholarship holders a framework in which they can reflect on the current challenges of their business model, their required skills as well as the team situation, common objectives and the roles of the individual members under expert guidance.
We work with innovative methods and tools that have been specially developed or adapted for coaching start-ups.
In the run-up to the seminar, a short e-learning session and a survey will take place, the results of which will be used in the seminar.
To date, over 1000 start-up teams from the EXIST program have attended our seminars.
How exactly will it work?
