We support university members on their path to founding a company and offer space for start-ups and innovations from research, studies and teaching.
Since 2008, Paderborn University has presented the award for successful spin-offs to selected entrepreneurs, thus strengthening the connection to the university even years after graduation.
We support university members on their path to self-employment and want to promote the start-up mentality in Paderborn. Find out more about our start-up coaching, offers for financing your start-up idea or be inspired by our already founded start-ups.




Business founders often feel closely connected to their place of origin even years later. To support this bond, since 2008 it has been possible to use a quality label awarded by Paderborn University. This makes it the first university in Germany to recognize "its" spin-offs in this way. By using the label, the emergence from the university is made clear and the external image is supported.
Our start-up coaches will support you on your start-up journey from the initial idea to the scholarship and beyond.
