Revamped Business Approach: Contribute to Its Development Today!
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has launched a stakeholder process for the new Startup and Scaleup Strategy of the German Government. This strategy aims to quickly improve conditions for startups and scaleups, with a focus on increasing the international visibility of "Made in Germany" innovations and boosting the competitiveness of the economy.
In this new strategy, topics such as financing conditions for startups in Germany are under discussion. The goal is to create a practical and implementable set of measures that can make a real difference in the short term.
The Munich startup community has a unique opportunity to actively shape key aspects of this new strategy. By sharing their experiences and ideas, they can have a direct impact on the future of startups and scaleups in Germany.
To gather feedback, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is conducting thematic workshops after the summer break. The feedback received will be used to further develop the startup strategy. A direct link to the online survey for feedback has been provided.
One of the potential projects in the new startup strategy is the introduction of a digital platform that enables startups to be founded within 24 hours. This ambitious project, along with other practical ideas from the community, will be combined with projects outlined in the coalition agreement.
The deadline for founders, investors, and experts to submit their proposals for the new startup strategy is September 8, 2025. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy will develop a proposal based on the feedback received. This proposal will be coordinated with other federal ministries to ensure a cohesive and effective strategy.
The focus of the new startup strategy will be on key questions that encourage participants to evaluate location factors. This focus continues from the previous strategy, ensuring a consistent approach to improving the framework conditions for young companies in Germany.
The name of the coordinator for the new startup and scaling concept has not been publicly disclosed at this time. However, it is clear that the German government is committed to improving the conditions for startups and scaleups in Germany, and the Munich startup community has a vital role to play in shaping this future.
