What is our incubation programm?

The core of the incubation programme is personal consulting, networking and a series of workshops with topics such as market research & business model canvas, team development, customer development, corporate culture & values or pricing and sales. In TUHH's own startup centre, we form crews to optimise the direct exchange between the programme teams. Crews are groups of four to ten founding teams in the early phase who receive all the services offered by the Startup Port @TUHH - together and simultaneously.

Participation in the incubation programme is not mandatory. We advise and support all innovative startups with the elements of the Startup Port @TUHH. How we can best support you can best be worked out in an initial meeting. And if you just want to get an idea of what it's like to found a startup, even without an idea, you are of course welcome to attend our events or simply drop by.

 

EXIST Women - special programme for female founder

In 2025, we will also be able to offer an independent programme for female founders as part of EXIST Women funding from the BMWK.

Female founders as individual founders or in a team with a joint startup idea. The programme should be used to further concretise this idea and, for example, to prepare an EXIST startup grant application. It is important that you have not yet founded a company and/or have not yet taken part in a startup support programme. Details on the legal conditions can be found in the guidelines here (sorry, only in german).

What does the programme include?

  • scholarship of 1,000 to a maximum of 3,000 euros per month for up to 3 months (see guidelines for details)
  • 2000.- Euro material resources
  • participation in the newly launched Crew Barcelona, including a qualification programme, networking opportunities etc. (see above for more information)
  • additional workshops on special topics related to the promotion of female founders
  • mentoring by experienced female founders
  • option of office space during the programme
  • networking with EXIST Women founders from other universities in the metropolitan region

  • reflection workshops on 9 July and 5 November (mandatory)

What is expected of you?

We expect a high level of motivation and a full commitment to advancing your own startup idea. We want the TUHH scholarship holders to become a group in which each individual benefits to the maximum from the close exchange and the time spent together in a similar situation. To this end, we expect participation in the kick-off event, the workshop weekend and the reflection workshops that take place every three to four months. Participation in further workshops at the TUHH or other universities in the ecosystem is voluntary and should only serve your progress.

Which documents must be submitted?
