Network partners & supporters
Network Partner
Wir unterstützen Gründerinnen und Gründer, die zusammen mit uns einen Beitrag für eine nachhaltige Welt leisten. Dazu bieten wir diesen Gründenden im Lebensmittelbereich die Möglichkeit, ohne größeres finanzielles Risiko innovative Ideen für bessere und nachhaltigere Lebensmittel zu entwickeln und schnell in die Praxis umzusetzen.
The great success of this offer with a respective doubling of the Food Startups and founding teams active at the Food Startup in the last two years (to now more than 25 Food Startups) has taken us completely by surprise.
Therefore, we are currently facing the great challenge of meeting the rapidly growing demands for the necessary infrastructure such as pilot facilities, coworking spaces and support. We urgently need the support of network partners and sponsors to help us master these challenges together.
Interested? Then we look forward to your message to info@fsiws.com
Investors and companies
In parallel to the expansion of the Food Startup Incubator (currently around 30 food startups as well as over 25 certificate graduates and student startup teams), we are in the process of setting up an accelerator for food startups with the Innovation Campus Food, which will be launched at the end of 2023.
Diese Aktivitäten bauen wir in enger Zusammenarbeit mit unserem Partner, dem Strascheg Center der Hochschule München (SCE) aus. Sie haben mit dem Drink Innovation Campus (DICA) bereits erfolgreich einen Accelerator im Food Bereich etablieren können.
If you are interested in supporting us in this, please contact us at info@fsiws.com
We look forward to hearing from you.
How to become a female founder
Description
The Food Startup Incubator Weihenstephan (FSIWS) of the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences (HSWT), together with the International University (IU) and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE ), offers the free online short program "How to become a female founder?" for women interested in starting a business. Every spring (approx. March to July), experts provide valuable tips on start-up-related topics such as funding, negotiating, creating a business model and legal aspects in around fifteen live online events.
Zusätzlich stehen neun online Webinare zur Verfügung, um die wesentlichen Schritte der Gründung immer wieder nachzuholen.
Ladies! Take a look around under: https://we-female-founders.de
The program successfully contributes to raising the visibility of women with innovative business ideas and increasing the number of female founders. Did you know? Most company founders in Germany are still male. Although the proportion of female founders is increasing, it is currently only around 16 percent. A particular challenge for female founders is that they receive less capital for their ventures, as potential investors often rate women lower than men. In contrast, companies founded by female founders are usually more successful than companies founded exclusively by men.
Fragen zum Programm werden gerne unter info@fsiws.com beantwortet.
