Shaping the Future: Supporting
Start-Ups and Nurturing Talents in Kiel

Young talents shape the future! This young talent is the driving force behind products, services and Kiel’s economy as a whole. A new generation of workers and potential entrepreneurs brings fresh ideas and projects to life, while innovative working methods and processes enrich established businesses. Supporting innovative start-ups and connecting Kiel-based companies with qualified professionals play a key role in achieving this, drawing on our strong network across universities, the regional economy, and the start-up scene. 


At KiWi, the focus is on strengthening the link between students and businesses to retain more graduates in Kiel. Furthermore, we support strategically significant start-up projects and guide them on their journey to becoming independent.

Our consultancy services focus on startups in the areas of digitalization, sustainability and "Industry 4.0." We support these young Kiel-based companies particularly during their growth phase, when they have already taken their first steps in the market and are now looking for further funding opportunities, strong business networks, and expert knowledge to further develop their business model.
