Funding program StartUpSecure
Funding program StartUpSecure
For innovative start-up projects with specific reference to IT security

The StartUpSecure funding program of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports innovative start-up projects in two phases.
The aim of the first development phase (Phase I) is to expand the technical feasibility of a start-up idea and to evaluate the market.
In the second start-up phase (Phase II), the focus is on the transfer to the economy, the testing of first application scenarios and the implementation of the pursued business model.
The team of the start-up incubator StartUpSecure is the central contact partner for all matters concerning the funding program and provides intensive support for innovative and promising projects during the successful application process and beyond.
Since the start of the initiative, nine start-up projects have already been supported by the StartUpSecure funding program.
