Entrepreneurship & Start-Ups

The Founders Academy is an interregional project that supports early-stage start-ups in preparing their entrepreneurial ideas to enter the market. A consortium of eight dedicated partners from Italy and Austria has developed a joint program to assist start-ups in successfully implementing their ideas through expert webinars, personalized coaching, application-oriented tools, and community support.

The program prepares start-up projects for market entry and familiarizes them with the challenges and opportunities in planning and implementing their start-ups.
