Support for founders
The Faculty of Economic Science has appointed a founding officer from among the professors: This is the first point of contact for start-up ideas in the faculty. They pass on prospective start-ups to the start-up funding of the University of Göttingen and, in close coordination with them, accompanies the first steps on the way from the idea to a business plan to implementation and marketing. At the central level, numerous workshops and a start-up competition are offered, and projects within the framework of the Southern Lower Saxony Innovation Campus are promoted and coached.
Other special features

The basic education provided in the orientation phase is characterised by study in small groups; this appropriately complements the lectures and enables students to learn both intensively and interactively.
