SQuArE start-up service

Would you like to use the knowledge you have gained from your studies and research to turn your idea into reality? Want to set up your own freelance business after graduation or build an innovative start-up as part of a team?

We support all members of the UAS, from students and alumni to teaching staff and employees from central facilities and administration.

Our services are aimed at students, lecturers, employees and alumni of Fachhochschule Dortmund. Whether you are just starting out or are already in the middle of your start-up journey, the start-up service offers you support, advice and opportunities to network and turn your ideas and projects into reality.

Here you will find more detailed information on our events from SQuArE and our network, summarized in compact form, which we will also inform you about via our social media channels and in our newsletter .

The central contact point for all our activities is the SQuArE Makerspace:

Workshop, PC pool and co-working room offer you a place where you can realize your ideas and projects.

The Kickstart funding program supports UAS members (individuals and teams) for a period of up to six months with funding of up to 7,500 euros. This can be used to finance special parts and special advice required to implement the idea. The start-up service provides you with close support.

Kickstart supports the testing of initial innovative research ideas in the pre-start-up phase. The aim is to try out things in an uncomplicated way that could lead to a start-up in the future.
