Startups are the rockets of the economy. They take off and make a difference at high speed. This is how they drive innovation and secure the future and greater prosperity in Lower Saxony.
Every rocket needs three things to take off: a motivated crew, fuel and a solid platform.
The crew consists of the founders. They build the rocket and steer it into new dimensions.
The fuel is the ideas and expertise of the minds involved and the necessary capital, which we make available through startup funding and through educational and research institutions and startup centres.
The platform is the startup ecosystem that we help to shape and constantly expand.
We are the central point of contact for the startup community in Lower Saxony. We network, shape and promote. We act with foresight and according to strong values. We want to launch ideas that make a lasting difference in society with more freedom, creativity and diversity in the startup world and make it easier for founders in Lower Saxony.
To achieve this, we follow our guiding principle, “make things easy”, every step of the way.
