Start-up consulting now via telephone or online
The start-up advisory service is still there for members of the University of Passau who are interested in starting a business and answers questions about business ideas, gives feedback on business plans and advises on funding programmes, such as FLÜGGE or EXIST. Helene Schneider and Michael Pleschgatternig are also available for anyone who would like to apply for "Gründerzeit" (a start-up semester off) to implement their business idea.
