I am an international student and want to start my business in Aachen – what kind of help can I get?
Especially for international founders, there are certain barriers and bureaucratic obstacles when starting a business in Germany. We support you together with our large partner network in overcoming these barriers and help you save time in the process of starting-up. Our tailored approach includes support in getting your visa, opening up your bank account, finding a place to live, finding office space, learning German, getting into valuable communities and building up your start-up network in Aachen.
Is the offer free?
The service of the IEO is free. It is an additional offer for international founders in the Ideation or Incubation Programm. We act as a facilitator for international start-ups in Aachen since we are convinced that a multicultural founder landscape is the key for a broad, innovative mindset, an exchange of ideas and eventually future cross-border activities.
