Start-ups & Foundation
Every journey begins somewhere - and it often begins in Bremen and Bremerhaven. Start-ups find quick access to everything they need in the state: infrastructure, contacts, like-minded people, knowledge, money. Founders know each other, help each other, and grow together into a start-up family. Centrally located co-working spaces, start-up centers, and hubs offer start-ups office space, workshops, and networks for little money - but with ideal connections. Short distances are the key.

The Starthaus is the first port of call for anyone wanting to start a business: free advice, financial grants, support with the business plan and the start-up idea, as well as tips on financing. Numerous start-up events, such as the Pitching Nights, ensure a lively exchange among each other.
