Open Doors

The biggest hurdle when starting a business? Usually the first step. Sometimes all it takes is people, ideas, conversations — and an open door.

With Open Doors, the KIT-Gründerschmiede and maKeIT are now regularly opening their doors at K26 for anyone who just wants to drop by. No appointment, no pitch, no plan required. Open Doors is exactly that: Come by, look around, ask questions, meet people—no registration, no prior knowledge, no set agenda.

Program

Several consultation stations invite you to stop by and ask questions. Our experts are on-site and will take the time to help—whether it’s about initial ideas, specific questions regarding funding programs, spin-offs from research, or simply getting your bearings. We know who’s in charge—and if not us, we’ll put you in touch.

Right across the street, at TRIANGEL, the Open House also takes place on Wednesdays—open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for co-working and networking. If you’d like, you can combine the day: develop ideas and work at TRIANGEL, get advice at K26.

At 4 p.m., the Female Founders Walk & Talk follows—open to female founders as well as all women and non-binary individuals who would like to become part of our community.

Target Audience

Our OPEN DOORS is open to everyone. Our offerings are particularly beneficial for students, researchers, and staff at KIT who are interested in impact and entrepreneurship.

No registration required. We look forward to seeing you!
