TRIP – Thuringian Regional Innovation Program

TRIP to accelerate

We accelerate start-ups and innovative projects in the areas of business model and strategy development, financing, investment readiness and the identification of cooperation partners and investors. Our goal is to create the best conditions for the start-up community in Thuringia.

The TRIP accelerator program offers 6 months of expertise, workshops, prototyping budget and networking with investors, SMEs and innovators. For particularly scalable projects, additional 3 months of the final TRIP phase with the focus on VC financing are planned. The final highlight of the program is a pitch at one of the largest start-up events in Germany – the Investor Days Thuringia.
