We answer all your questions about getting started!

We have been supporting startups for 26 years in the CyberForum and for 10 years with the CyberLab. That's why we are the perfect touch point for you to clarify the most important questions about founding your company. In cooperation with the Karlsruhe Economic Development Agency and the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Agency, we have designed the EXI Digital BW startup voucher ESF Plus to offer you free startup consulting.

Consulting for startups with a digital focus in all industries

The EXI startup voucher is open to all industries. The only requirement is that digital business models or technologies play or could play a role.

As part of the CyberForum, Europes largest high-tech.entrepreneur.network., we offer you valuable contacts from the high-tech and IT sector who will support you as an investor, business angel or mentor on your way to your own company.
We also support startup projects with a focus on IT, AI, IT security and smart production within the framework of our CyberLab Accelerator.

Here's how the startup voucher works

Step one: Initial consulting

This is about the current status, an initial assessment of your startup project and checking the feasibility of your business model. You receive valuable practical tips and we discuss goal-oriented further steps. If necessary, we put you in touch with relevant contacts, e.g. with regard to possible funding or financing.

Step two: Hands-on support through specialized consulting

Our special advisory service covers topics such as the detailed preparation of a reliable business plan or the creation of a sales strategy and marketing plan. 80% of the specialized consultancy is funded by the EXI Digital BW startup voucher ESF-Plus, and you as the founder only bear 20% of the costs.
The special advisory service is carried out by experienced external consultants and active entrepreneurs who are accredited by us and who are placed with you in a sector-specific manner tailored to your needs.

Step three: Getting involved in the community

Right from the start you benefit from our network and startup community in Baden-Württemberg. As an EXI founder you can pick the brains of all current and former business owners from CyberForum and CyberLab alumni.

Thanks to our workshops and theme days, you can find out about "Digital Startups", "Sustainability", "Financing" and "Female Founders" and exchange ideas with other founders.

The information event "EXI Digital Gründungswerkstatt"  teaches you what is important for a startup. This includes, for example, the entrepreneurial personality, important legal factors and the opportunities of a digital business model.

If the basic questions about your startup project have already been clarified, you can put your business idea to the test in front of experts and internal advisors at the "Heißer Stuhl" and receive valuable input.
