Startup consultant Brit Tiedemann leads the “GründungsRaum” series, offering practical insights and a clear understanding of the needs of people interested in starting a business.

October 2026 – October 14, 2026
Concept, Business Model, Business Plan
On October 14, the focus will be on developing a viable business model. How does an idea become a workable concept, and what scenarios help you plan realistically? Taking a collective look at different paths and possibilities often opens up new perspectives and helps you further refine your own idea.
The “GründungsRaum” is part of the collaborative project Land.Vorteil.Gründung, supported by neuland21, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, the University of Lübeck, Wir bauen Zukunft eG,
the DeveLUP Future Center in Ludwigslust, and WFL – Economic Development Agency of the Duchy of Lauenburg. The project is funded as part of the “WIR! – Change Through Innovation in the Region” program line of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The program strengthens regional alliances that jointly identify areas of innovation and develop new perspectives for structural change. It is aimed at regions with previously untapped innovation potential and supports them in establishing sustainable, self-sustaining structures.
