Startup-Verband

Startups are a driving force of our future economy. Visionary founders turn bold ideas into reality with courage and determination. We support these pioneers by representing their interests to policymakers, businesses, and the public. We shape debates on the key issues facing a confident startup ecosystem and place them on the political agenda. Within our network, we foster equal exchange between startups, established companies, and policymakers. We pass on entrepreneurial knowledge and experience from one generation to the next and bring startup culture into SMEs and large corporations. Our goal is to make Germany and Europe founder-friendly environments that reward risk-taking and provide innovators with the best conditions to succeed through innovation. We are guided by the vision of an open, inclusive, and forward-looking society.
