"GO FOR IT" aus Holzklötzen gelegt. Das steht für: Beratung zum Thema Gründen findest du im Gründungsbüro der Universität Freiburg.

We listen to your idea, evaluate its potential, and show you ways to become self-employed. In further consultations, we refine the idea into a product, search for markets together, outline business models for you, and help you apply for funding.

Our consulting services are aimed at members of the University of Freiburg and interested parties from the universities of the founding association Campus Technologies Oberrhein (CTO), provided that they do not have their own advisory capacity. The affiliated universities include the universities in Offenburg and Furtwangen as well as Katholische and Evangelische universities of Freiburg.

For traditional professions such as doctors, lawyers, and tax advisors, specific advice is provided exclusively by the respective professional associations.
