Entrepreneur Award
Each year, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences presents the Founder’s Award to recognize outstanding founders who have successfully put their ideas into practice. The award honors entrepreneurial courage, innovative spirit, and the sustainable development of companies that have emerged from the university community.
Startup Grant
Through its startup grant, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences supports innovative projects in the pre-startup phase. The grant helps participants further develop their ideas, take the first steps toward implementation, and lay the groundwork for a potential startup.
This is made possible by the commitment of regional partners and supporters from the university’s startup support network. Together, they invest in new ideas, thereby strengthening entrepreneurial talent in the region.

Courage, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit—that’s what sets our female founders from the region apart. In personal interviews, they share how they brought their ideas to life, overcame obstacles, and created something new. Their stories make it clear: Starting a business is worth it—and inspires others to take that first step themselves.
