A region for founders

The short distances in the Fulda region refer not only to traffic, but also to decision-making processes. Shortening these distances is a focus of our meta-network consisting of Fulda University of Applied Sciences, the Fulda Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Fulda District Chamber of Skilled Crafts and the Fulda Junior Chamber of Commerce. The cooperation with the Kassel Chamber of Crafts and the state-wide networking with starthub hessen (HTAI) makes it a powerful local initiative group. Thanks to this close networking, it is possible for us to support all those who want to become self-employed, whether founders from sideline business or studies or fast-growing startups.

Startup Consulting

For a startup to become a success story, it takes more than good ideas, heart and soul, courage and will. Luck is helpful, experience and know-how unbeatable - and you can get that in the Fulda region. We will go through our start-up checklist with you, inform you about the most important to-dos and indispensable official procedures. We also motivate you to plan your future so that you don't run out of steam halfway through.

Subsidies

Very few start-ups fail due to a lack of financing. But in the growth phase, some companies slip into the liquidity trap. Those who don't constantly keep an eye on their solvency and blindly trust their business plan can quickly suffer shipwreck. Do you know all the important subsidy offers? Take advantage of the support for consulting, investments or as working capital.

Coworking Spaces

Coworking spaces, hybrid usage areas and on-demand offices have long since ceased to belong only to metropolises. #fdworks connects existing initiatives and forms a new-work landscape in the district of Fulda. We help establish coworking spaces and new organizational forms of work at the interface between communities and business. We design innovative utilization concepts for the development of municipal real estate and create joint platforms. In this way, we sustainably increase the quality of work and life in the region.

Networks

As a founder, you often feel like a lone fighter. But in the Fulda region, thanks to a multitude of networks, you are always in conversation with like-minded people. Because others may have already answered your questions for you. And your ideas will help others.

Events

In addition to a monthly start-up and founders regulars' table, Region Fulda GmbH regularly invites you to various events. For example, we do sports together, meet for outdoor events and invite you to consultation days - for example, for all questions about business management. And, of course, we don't miss the start-up reception of the Fulda Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

Successes

Quality over quantity: We realize that we cannot impress with the number of startups we have. However, the quality of the startups in the Fulda region is truly impressive. Over the past 10 years, we have had the privilege of accompanying many finalists and winners to the Hessian Founder Award. Two others received a scholarship from the startup community Young Business Germany. Every startup has its own individual success story, and we are proud to be a part of it.
