Startup Startcamp Bremen SPACE

FROM IDEA TO STARTUP IN 54 HOURS

About STARTUP STARTCAMP BREMEN

STARTUP STARTCAMP BREMEN SPACE is designed for those who are interested to (co-)start a SPACE, SPACE-ENABLED, or SPACE-RELATED startup:

• Transform a space or space-enabled or space-related startup idea in just 54 hours!
• Pitch your idea in 60 seconds (no slides) or join an idea that you are passionate about.
• Find awesome like-minded people, grow your network & learn new skills.
• Test your assumptions, conduct market research, tune your business model, develop your demo or prototype.
• On Sunday, pitch your startup concept to a jury & public audience, get feedback - and maybe your own startup will be born this weekend!

Please find the examples of how this event format has paved the path for two startups in these LinkedIn posts: Valispace post & WasteAnt post.

For all event details, please check the following FAQ, event schedule, video & lineup:

1) WHY Startup Startcamp Bremen SPACE?

Bremen is a European SPACE hotspot with 140 companies, € 4 Billion annual revenue, 20 top research institutions , 12.000 people employed and host of Europe's largest B2B space event - the Space Tech Expo Euro - which starts just two days after the Startup Startcamp (2024, Nov. 19-21).

Bremen also has a vibrant startup & tech community as well.
Since 2015, the #BremenStartups community has a proven track record on facilitating startups & entrepreneurial journeys.

And it works! There have been founded above a dozen of Startups from previous events like Startup Startcamp Bremen SPACE! These events were the initial starting point for attendees to go for their entrepreneurial journey and launch startups like Valispace, satsearch, SPiN, or Jelly Space!

2) BUT I'M NOT A SPACE ENGINEER OR SCIENTIST! Is that event for me?

SURE!
Because STARTUP STARTCAMP works by a variety of skills and experiences.

Wether you are...
...idea giver or ar a potential co-founder...
...professional or student...
... designer / creative, software or hardware developer, business or industry expert...
... you will be valuable for your team at STARTUP STARTCAMP!

3) Will I get support?

You are not alone! Experienced founders, experts & coaches will support you (check the out below). Also food & drinks are included in your ticket so that you can focus and concentrate on your project.

4) Should everyone pitch startup ideas?

It is entirely your choice to pitch a startup idea or join the team of an idea you believe in. Either ways, we want you to enjoy this exhilarating experience of building startups. Your idea should be something you have not previously worked on. Please find the TOP 10 input about the idea pitches in this LinkedIn Post.

5) What is the language of the event?

The event moderation and all pitches will be in English. You can discuss with your teammates and mentors in the language of your choice.

6) Do I register only myself or do I have to register as a startup team?

Register yourself. You can't register as a team. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone attending. We will help everyone form groups, and there will be lots of possibilities to mingle and get to know other attendees.

7) How big are the teams?

Teams of 4 to 5 members are the ideal number for optimal results.

8) What do I need to bring?

A laptop and a desire to contribute! You must be able to attend Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

9) I'm not from Bremen. Can you recommend accommodation close to the event location?

The eventlocation (DIGITAL INDUSTRY HUB BREMEN, Konrad-Zuse-Straße 6a, 28359 Bremen) is embedded in the technology park of the University Bremen.

Thus, the DHI is very easy to be reached by public transport. The station "Lise-Meitner-Straße" is just five minutes walk distance from the DHI and is served quite frequently by various tram & bus lines. E.g. the tram line #6 needs just twelve minutes from the main train station to the DHI.

Thus, you can find several hotels in the area around the DHI, but if you are looking for other accomendation options in Bremen, the public transportation makes it possible to easliy get from there to the DHI.

Please check also the "Getting there" infos for bike, scooter, car & public transport on the page of the DHI here: https://digitalhubindustry.de/en/contact-us-getting-here/

10) What is included in the ticket price?

Your ticket includes food, drinks, and one-on-one time with amazing mentors over the course of the weekend.

Please check thankfully the awesome supporters of bremen-startups.de who semi-sponsor the tickets so that we can provide you more value than what you actually pay for.
