Start-up ecosystem

Pre-formation phase - what is it?

The pre-stage is the first phase in the life cycle of a young company and is usually the first point of contact with a start-up ecosystem.

In this phase, the personal and professional development of those interested in founding a company is of crucial importance and should be promoted through low-threshold offers. It is important to awaken the entrepreneurial spirit and train prospective entrepreneurs.

Successful self-employment requires the ability to think entrepreneurially. In addition to basic business knowledge, it is particularly important to promote creativity and self-organization as well as analytical and problem-solving skills. The contact partners for such training programs are usually schools, universities, other educational institutions and other partners.

At least as important is the informal exchange with like-minded people. Different event formats can be used to build networks between people interested in starting up a business and with supporting institutions. Ideally, there should be a start-up center as a central point of contact to which prospective founders can turn for information on current specialist lectures, workshops or seminars.

  • Network and administrative contacts

    The WMG supports you in building up your personal network, because with a functioning, well-maintained network you will find exactly the support you need.

    In order to network in a targeted and efficient manner, every business founder should ask themselves two questions at the beginning:
    What are the right networks for me?

    How do I establish and maintain contacts within the networks so that they are helpful for my company?
    The WMG also provides you with individual and "translated" support for all administrative issues. Whether at the building authority, trade office, tax office, IHK or HWK - we speak the language of both business and administration, find the right contacts and want to implement your plans in the best possible way. WMG will be happy to advise you.
