Fostering entrepreneurship and innovation through collaboration with industry.
The University of Stuttgart inspires its students in the field of science by means of research-led teaching and learning. However, great importance is also placed on the ability of the university’s graduates to make a creative contribution to scientific, business and social innovations once they leave the university. The University of Stuttgart believes that STARTUP AUTOBAHN plays an important role in this process, as it brings the spirit of entrepreneurship to campus. The goal of the University of Stuttgart is to inspire more of its students to join the events organized by STARTUP AUTOBAHN, thus empowering them to become a part of Stuttgart’s entrepreneurship ecosystem. Research, innovation and entrepreneurship have found an ideal home at the ARENA2036 research facility on campus at the University of Stuttgart.
