WELCOME TO THE STARTUP COACHES

WE MAKE YOU FIT FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The Gründungsschmiede is the contact point for students, researchers and employees of the HTW for all questions regarding company formation and start-up projects. Here you can meet experienced advisors, use top-equipped co-working spaces and exchange ideas with other founders. With us you can make your idea fly!
