Finally we are "Exzellenz Start-up Center Dortmund, Westfälisches Ruhrgebiet & Südwestfalen"

The state government is funding the „Exzellenz Start-up Center Dortmund, Westfälisches Ruhrgebiet & Südwestfalen“. The Start-up Center will serve as a central point of contact for founders and provide coworking offices for the development of business ideas as well as for the preparation of start-ups. In addition, an open workshop with equipment and a dataspace will be set up. Suitable technology will be made available for the market-ready further development of prototypes and functional models. "Numerous qualification measures will be offered for entrepreneurship," explained Prof. Andreas Liening, who holds the professorship "Entrepreneurship and Economic Education" at the Faculty of Economics at TU Dortmund University in addition to his role as CET board member.

Minister Pinkwart stated, "Start-ups from universities are of outstanding importance for the emergence and international competitiveness of regional start-up ecosystems. I am very pleased that in this regard Dortmund is leading the way and intends to significantly increase the number of innovative and high-growth spin-offs, also by expanding the university infrastructure for start-ups."
