Since many research-based founding teams start to think about their international markets when they design their business plans at our universities, we are able to seed awareness for international markets and strategy development already at an early stage. The universities of the Central German University Alliance (Mitteldeutscher Universitätsbund) have built reliable and trustful relations with many innovation partners - locally and internationally. We are connected with all local university startup services and their supporters. Our international focus region for this initiative is East Asia with representatives in China or Vietnam, but we also connect your startup to other world regions and markets.
