Start-up Idea Exchange: The Perfect Match

The Start-up Manufactory's Idea Exchange is your matchmaking tool for direct entry into the world of entrepreneurship. We bring together what belongs together:

  • Innovative technology: From AI-supported medicine to sustainable GreenTech patents.
  • Entrepreneurial talent: Students and alumni who are interested in business development, strategy, and market entry.

Your professional background is often secondary; what's much more important is your motivation to familiarize yourself with a topic and support an existing team or develop a marketable business model from pure theory.
The best part is that you don't start from scratch. The technology is often already proven or even patented, and we at Start-up Manufacture accompany you every step of the way.

Impact Entrepreneurship

Business does not have to be solely profit-oriented. More and more people are founding businesses with the aim of solving social or environmental problems and creating successful companies in the process. This way of thinking is called “common good orientation.”

With the new SoNaR project, CENTIM and Start-up-Manufaktur support effective start-ups and offer tailor-made consulting concepts for impact start-ups.
