FAQ
Who can participate in the Startup Garage?
Every student studying in Hohenheim can take part at SGHOH22. We believe in the power of interdisciplinary and are thus looking forward to participants from agriculture, natural and economic science.
​
Do I have to have a business idea/technology to participate?
No. You can either create a team to develop your own idea, or join a team with an existing idea.
How can I apply for the Startup Garage?
Register on our Homepage and click „Yes, for real“ when asked about your interest in participation. We have a maximum number of students who can take part in our program. If this number is reached, we have to put you on the waiting list for the current or the next program.
Do I get ECTS points, or is the program preparation for my exams?
None of this. In Startup Garage Hohenheim you work collaboratively together with fellow students on a real challenge and experimentally learn the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur.
