Develop with "EXIST-Women" your entrepreneurial skills and educate yourself in the field of (Social) Entrepreneurship and business start-up professionally and above all practically!
As the name "EXIST-Women" suggests, the support and qualification program is a specific promotion of women at universities and research institutions who are interested in founding a company and have an affinity for founding a company. It is intended to give women the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the topics of start-ups and professional independence at an early stage.
On July 7, 2023, the new guideline "EXIST-Women" was published by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The new EXIST funding line includes event, consulting and support services as well as a financial grant for aspiring female founders. Participants are to be supported in particular in the development of their entrepreneurial skills and the development or further development of their start-up idea.
The details and program content for ASH university members are currently being developed by staff members of the ASHEXIST project.
