The Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg is a place where creative ideas take shape. One way to turn ideas arising from innovative research into reality is by founding a company.

For students, staff, and researchers who want to explore entrepreneurship beyond the academic world, the Founding and Innovation Center (GIZ) is here to help. Whether working alone or in a team, you can rely on our startup coaches to support you in developing and implementing your business idea. Let us guide you on your journey!

For entrepreneurs with innovative, growth and profit-oriented business ideas, we offer the following programs:

• Counselling and coaching
• Funding
• Startup Mentoring

Of course, those with just an initial idea are also welcome!
