We promote start-ups and innovative projects in Thuringia in a targeted manner.
Directly to the project

No progress without innovation – innovative start-up projects are essential for solving social, economic and ecological challenges. In order to strengthen Thuringia’s innovative strength and promote startups in a targeted manner, the ThEx innovative project accelerates innovative projects in the areas of business model and strategy development as well as financing and market entry. As part of this mission, the project is responsible for the seven-month startup accelerator “Thuringian Regional Innovation Program“. Innovators are specifically brought towards investment readiness. ThEx innovativ is responsible for the organization of the Investor Days Thuringia, which have developed into Germany’s annual innovation hotspot. Through the cross-project networking of founders, ThEx innovativ strengthens the Thuringian startup community and the entire innovation ecosystem.

Coaching and consulting

We are Thuringia’s central point of contact for innovative and technology-driven start-ups. We offer one-on-one coaching for business models, financing and market entry strategy. In addition, ThEx innovativ is responsible for the seven-month startup accelerator Thuringian Regional Innovation Program TRIP.

Regional Trips

Startups need a strong community and a strong startup ecosystem. Our goal is to accelerate innovation and create synergies and collaborations among like-minded people. With Regio TRIPs, we offer add-on formats for regional players in the Thuringian startup ecosystem and open up our offer to teams in the pre-start-up phase.

Whether it’s a university start-up network, technology and start-up centres, start-up idea competitions, coworking spaces or innovation clusters – together with you, we complement your local offer and further develop your innovative business ideas together with your programme participants.
