KIT – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association
We create and impart knowledge for the society and the environment. From fundamental research to applications, we excel in a broad range of disciplines. An inspiring work environment as well as cultural diversity characterize and enrich the life and work at KIT.
Founded in 2013 by the KIT, KIT-Gründerschmiede is one of the largest university start-up centers in Germany today. We bundle all activities on the topics of founding and entrepreneurship to achieve more impact for our founding teams.
The KIT-Gründerschmiede serves as an initial contact point for technology-based start-ups and sees itself as a breeding ground and accelerator for innovative business ideas around the central future topics of our time. Our goal is to support start-ups with our services at every stage of development and to actively help them build powerful technology companies.
