Project description
Through the close integration of entrepreneurship teaching and the work of Potsdam Transfer, the center for startups, innovation, knowledge and technology transfer, the University of Potsdam has established itself in the Brandenburg startup landscape and far beyond.

With the transfer and internationalization strategy, the university has already created a framework that further increases the international visibility through research and startup funding. In order to further develop Potsdam's startup ecosystem, the establishment of the International Startup Service is intended to specifically identify startup projects with high innovation potential worldwide, accompany international startup teams, and open up foreign and domestic markets. The goal is to internationalize the startup structure and culture of the University of Potsdam through open entrepreneurship.

The International Startup Service (PITCH) is a project of the Startup Service of Potsdam Transfer. This project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy - EXIST-Potentials ("Exist V").
