Startup Service

Time to found!

Do you have an initial idea for a start-up or would you like to know how we here at HHU can support you on your way to self-employment or your own start-up? The CEDUS team accompanies you and your project right from the start and shows you the way to the right support for your business start-up.

We help you to classify your business idea by creating a first rough business plan through a Business Model Canvas. The results of this will then be used to provide advice on funding programs or refer you to our CEDUS network of experts.

We help you to start up!
