Startup Academy
Have you ever considered setting up your own business with a business idea, but you don’t know or are uncertain whether self-employment is right for you? Many ideas are never realized because potential entrepreneurs are afraid of not having enough expertise or don’t have the necessary self-confidence.
The Startup Office of the University of Freiburg supports you in this endeavour with a qualification and coaching programme. Visit the website of the Startup Office to find out about their course offerings.
