Exchange, expertise and entrepreneurial spirit shaped the three-day program
The Startup Port start-up camp took place in the inspiring TRAFOS premises in Lüneburg from Friday, February 21 to Sunday, February 23, 2025. 16 committed participants worked intensively on 15 innovative start-up ideas, accompanied by experienced experts.
In a dynamic mix of workshops, mentoring sessions and pitch formats, the ideas were put to the test, further developed and refined. The aim was to turn initial concepts into viable and scalable business models. The focus was on topics such as business model development, prototyping and pitch training.
The intensive exchange within the group and with the mentors was particularly valuable for many participants. As one respondent aptly put it: “Networking during, between and after the program was incredibly valuable.”
The start-up camp has established itself as a permanent institution and has been organized by Tempowerk, Hamburg Innovation and Leuphana University Lüneburg for several years. It offers those interested in founding a company a unique opportunity to develop their ideas in a professional environment, receive valuable feedback and network with like-minded people.
With new impetus, valuable contacts and developed concepts, the budding entrepreneurs are now taking the next steps on their start-up journey.
The next Startup Port founding camp is already being planned – a new opportunity for those interested in founding a company to take their ideas to the next level!
