The program

Learn more about our Winter Batch
LAUNCH offers ambitious and creative people the opportunity to lay the foundations for their own start-up. Through our practical workshops and the support of experienced mentors, we accompany you step by step on the path from idea to successful company. Targeted networking and adequate infrastructure offer you a platform on which you can develop your startup in a targeted manner. The final Demo Day offers you the opportunity to present your startup to a jury and an audience of investors and win attractive prizes.
