Programme for social entrepreneurs*
We’ll advise and support you with your social and cultural start-up project.
Are you inspired and keen to make a positive contribution? Do you already have a specific idea about how to tackle a social challenge? We’ll help you to focus on precisely these areas. We’ll turn your idea into an effective business model. Along the way, we’ll explore social entrepreneurship approaches with you and try out new working methods. Together, we’ll create sustainable prospects for your start-up project.
