Start-up BW Accelerators
The early phases in the life of a young business represent a particularly challenging and decisive period for entrepreneurs: the business model is under development, the first round of financing is imminent and the prototype has to be made ready for the market.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Baden-Württemberg, makes use of state funding and the European Structural Funds ESF and EFRE to enable continual support for start-up accelerators that provide help and comprehensive support for start-ups in this early phase of the business.
