EXIST - business start-ups from science

The aim of EXIST is to improve the start-up climate at universities and non-university research institutions in Germany and to increase the success of technology-oriented and knowledge-based start-ups in order to implement innovative and technology-oriented projects with good economic prospects into new business. In the context of EXIST-start-up-grants, the BMWi supports university graduates, scientists and students in preparing their technology-oriented and knowledge-based start-ups. As part of the EXIST-research-transfer, the necessary development work to prove the technical feasibility as well as the necessary preparations for the start of the company are funded.
