During the previous four weeks, the Universities of Bayreuth (Chair of Human Resource Management & Intrapreneurship), Mannheim (Chair of SME Research and Entrepreneurship) and Passau (Projekt PATEC - Passau the Entrepreneurial Campus) had organized an intense program covering the initial steps of the founding journey.
