These include Christina Kirst from the business development company Vulkaneifel mbH and Matthias Denis from the Bernkastel-Wittlich district and Falko Fischer from the district of Cochem-Zell.

start -up platform as an important tool

The Founder platform is a free digital tool that supports those interested in starting up in Germany from the first idea to corporate implementation. The interactive platform offers functions such as a business plan generator, practical guidelines, videos and contact with experts as well as regional advice. Over 300,000 visitors use the platform monthly, with around 8,000 users register free of charge. The initiative "Foundation in the Land" (GADL) particularly supports the foundation in rural regions.

gadl pursues the goal of promoting innovative business ideas, strengthening economic development in these areas and creating an attractive start -up culture. Through personal advice and digital tools, the initiative helps to implement ideas sustainably and successfully. According to surveys, over 18% of new users have already implemented their ideas while 91% are planning to found within the next six months.

funding opportunities and support

The BUND , the countries and the EU offer extensive funding programs for company foundations. Important actors in this context are the Federal Ministry of Economics and Innovation as well as the KfW, which appears as a federal funding bank. Those interested in start -up also receive advice from the chambers and founding centers of the universities.

The platform provides a database that explains financing options and makes funding programs based on the zip code and financing requirement. Public starting aids are available for various founding forms, including part-time start-ups and high technology startups. The advantages of these funding lie in fair conditions, which are specially tailored to founders. However, it is important to note that good preparation and a mature concept are a prerequisite for most funding.
