MAFINEX Gründerverbund Entrepreneur Rhein-Neckar eV
The Gründerverbund’s objective is to initiate and support the founding of innovative start-ups from students and young entrepreneurs. The assistance of the Gründerverbund covers four different areas:
1. Advice and support start-up projects through providing incubators and granting access to a large network of members from university and different industries
2. Provide Training through an annual entrepreneurship bootcamp and various workshops
3. Support participation in competitions, e.g. in the national strategic planning simulation PrimeCup, or in the statewide business plan competition NewBizCup
4. Offer financial support through a programme, which proportionally refunds costs associated with start-up activities (e.g. patent and legal advice or attending conferences)
Students from the University of Mannheim can seek advice from the ‘Mannheim Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation’ (MCEI) and will gain more information at www.gruenderverbund.info.

- Institute of Applied Research of the University of Mannheim
- Gründerzentrum at the University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg e.V.
