The Rolls Royce of state funding programmes
The EXIST Gründerstipendium supports innovative start-ups from universities and research institutes in the early phase. These should be innovative technology-oriented or knowledge-based startup projects with a good economic prospect of success. The EXIST Founders Grant is a funding program of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and is co-financed by the European Social Fund.
And because we are so modest, a little hint between us: applications submitted by the Generator tend to be quite successful
Eligibility:
Graduates and former Research Associates (up to 5 years after graduation/resignation)..
Students who have completed at least half of their studies at the time of application.
