The “Forum Startup Chemie” is a national initiative (DE) supporting startups with networking and skills with close contacts to other European initiatives, organizations, and start-ups. Our aim is to promote start-up companies in chemistry and related fields, such as industrial biotechnology, bioeconomy, and process engineering. Our objective is to contribute to a significant increase in the number of innovative chemical start-ups and to improve their probability of succeeding by simplifying the access to established companies, infrastructures, information, and investors. In addition, where possible, we align existing initiatives and, where necessary, establish new ones to support start-ups in all development phases optimally. Link: https://forum-startup-chemie.de/
