The module intends to give you the opportunity to work on your own projects, develop and evaluate your ideas and find ways to realize them. At the same time, we offer you a theoretical background in entrepreneurship and project management.
In Founder's Garage you design solutions for real-world problems. Small interdisciplinary teams of 3 to 5 students guided by a mentor from business or university evolve ideas into business concepts.
You develop ideas, in an area you are interested in. Ideas can be about an actual science-related topic, a solution to a common problem or something that helps other students… it is your choice.
In Founder's Garage, you get a crash course on time and project management and gain insight into the entrepreneur world. You receive support from mentors and experts, visit workshops and presentations, and work on your concept.
Founder's Garage is a joint project of Ulm University, Technische Hochschule Ulm (THU), University of Applied Sciences Biberach (HBC) and Chamber of Industry and Commerce Ulm (IHK Ulm).
FreshTäsch
The idea of FreshTäsch is to reduce food waste through packaging delicious but not optical retailing compliant vegetables in cute small pasta bags. Fresh Täsch is an easy way to reduce the food waste and to save the extraordinary vegetables from just ending in the garbage but treat yourself with some fine traditional Swabian dish.
Waterpoint
Waterpoint provides appealing public water dispensers in German city centers. With every German consumer purchasing one liter of water for the cheap price of 20 cents, 25 percent goes into the water projects that fight the water issues in developing countries. Besides, the carrying of reusable bottles for using a Waterpoint is lowering the amount of plastic waste being produced.
