Our focus is on startups in the logistics and supply chain sectors who want to obtain feedback from customers about their range of services at an early stage.
Do you find yourself here with your startup/project? Then get in touch with us and describe where you are right now. We will then be happy to give you an assessment of your ideal program and funding opportunities.
Is the program free of charge?

Active participation and use of co-working in Duisburg
In the incubator, we expect a strong local presence due to higher support and funding requirements. However, startups in incubators don't have to use coworking in Duisburg's inner harbor as a regular workplace. However, as a team, you are required to attend certain dates during the program period. These include, for example, the official kick-off event as well as coaching and group workshops with our experts from industrial and logistics companies. We ensure close and intensive contact with you through a fixed exchange appointment (approximately every 2 weeks, can also take place online).

It's important that you always have an up-to-date and compelling pitch deck at hand. But what is actually convincing? Based on our experience, we would like to give you tips for your pitch deck.
