“Realizing one’s own potential and ideas - that is at the forefront of many an entrepreneur’s mind,” says Meike Goos from the BRIDGE university network at the University of Bremen. “Especially when the initial decision of whether the first step into self-employment should be taken is being made.”
The two entrepreneur teams “Ubica Robotics” and “equalchamps” will speak of their experiences when starting their businesses at the StartUp Lounge. What helped their businesses to grow? What was in their opinion a great help? How did they use the EXIST scholarship from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and other support programs? Which mistakes would they not make again?
“We want to pass on these tips in order to inspire those starting a business and encourage them to stick with it even if there are setbacks,” explains Dr. Katrin Oellerich from the BRIDGE university network at Bremen City University of Applied Sciences.
In a relaxed and lively atmosphere, the following guests will speak about their experiences during short interviews:
Georg Bartels & Jonas Reiling from Ubica Robotics - develop autonomous scanning robots that use camera systems and artificial intelligence to create digital twins of retail stores.
Laura Elbers & Lina Soffner from equalchamps – ensure more equal opportunities in competitive sports with the help of an intermediary platform for sponsorship contracts.
