The initiators of the GRÜNDERSTAR start-up competition are the Stade Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Elbe-Weser region, the Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Stade Chamber of Skilled Crafts and the regional economic development agencies. The Stade Region Start-Up Prize is intended to promote the start-up culture and support the start-up climate, because bright minds with ideas, visions and entrepreneurial commitment - these are people that our region needs more than ever! This is the only way to secure local jobs and create new ones.
