Imagine...



...there is a place where you can work undisturbed only on your founding idea.

...you are part of a community of (aspiring) founders who are just as passionate about their start-up, help you with questions and give you feedback on your ideas.

...you regularly get new input that helps you to further develop your project.


WELCOME TO THE TRANSFER & STARTUP HUB



The premises of the Transfer & Startup Hub, funded by the SüdniedersachsenInnovationscampus (SNIC) and EXIST Potentiale, are open to students, graduates and employees of the regional universities for the realization of their startup project. The infrastructure can be used free of charge around the clock.

The Transfer & Startup Hub aims to reduce the risks of starting a business and create optimal conditions for startups.

The support offered includes modern equipped offices, meeting rooms, co-working spaces, personal meetings, events and networking opportunities with other founders and entrepreneurs from the region.

WHAT PREVIOUS MEMBERS SAY


We were accepted into the pre-incubator when our start-up idea was still in its infancy. Together with the mentors Anna and Martin, we were able to further develop our business model and acquire an NBank start-up grant.

We were given a place in the office of the SNIC, we met interesting founders, and we participated in or spoke at events around the topic of founding. At the end of the term, we even won the LIFT-OFF start-up competition of the University of Göttingen.

In the meantime, we have completed product development, collected 100,000 followers on Instagram, were accepted into the Life Science Accelerator Program, and founded Inkster GmbH. The (free!) pre-incubator program has contributed significantly to many of our successes.
