Born Global Startup Community

People from all over the world study and work at our universities. The spin-offs or startups from our universities, are mostly knowledge and research-based and address international markets very quickly. We support these „Born Globals“ and give their topics a forum with a community event, the yearly Born Global Startup Festival and a community of like-minded entrepreneurs.
