StartING-up in Bayreuth: When an Idea Becomes a Company
What speaks for self-employment and against traditional career paths in science or industry? The event StartING-up: Starting Instead of Hiring? invites you on November 17, 2026, to get to know entrepreneurship as a concrete career option. Successful founders will share their firsthand experiences about motivation, the founding process, opportunities, and setbacks.
Practical Insights from the Startup Scene
The focus will be on personal experiences and the question of how a research idea develops into a viable business model. Marius Körlin, Dr. Tom Liensdorf, and Dr. Christoph Zehe will provide insights into their entrepreneurial journeys and show what decisions shape the establishment of a company.
From Idea to Business Model
The discussion will shed light on central topics of event planning for aspiring founders: financing and funding programs, first customers, protection rights, business models, and the challenges of everyday entrepreneurship. The compatibility of entrepreneurship and private life will also be addressed.
Orientation, Exchange, and New Perspectives
