The Startup Sprint is a cooperation event of the GRÜNDERZEIT project of the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences together with the Katapult GBR and the CEDUS of the Heinrich Heine University with up to 100 participants from all over Düsseldorf.

The GRÜNDERZEIT project has been affiliated with the HSD Research and Transfer Department since November 2019. The third-party funded project is part of the “Exist-Potentiale Raise” program, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The aim is to establish a perceptible and stimulating start-up culture and to provide a framework in which innovative and fast-growing start-ups can create jobs in the region. The expansion of an interdisciplinary range of courses in the field of entrepreneurship also creates the academic framework in which students deal with the topics of founding and managing a company.
