RISE: Startup Workshop #1 on Strategy & Business Models
Start-up consultingConcerns/Category:
The GründerWerkstatt is a new format designed to help participants reflect on their own ideas and develop them further through interaction with others interested in starting a business.
As such, this workshop series, organized by the Regional Institute for Start-ups and Entrepreneurship and Campus Kemnath, is aimed at people with varying levels of prior knowledge and a wide range of ideas. The first session will focus on the topics of “Strategy & Business Model.”
When? Friday, April 17, 2026, 2:00 – 6:45 p.m.
Where? Coworking Kemnath (Röntgenstraße 14, 95478 Kemnath)
Who? The GründerWerkstatt is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone with a general interest in self-employment.
The GründerWerkstatt lasts about four hours per session and combines a roughly one-hour expert presentation with a self-organized, collaborative coworking phase during which participants can continue developing their ideas with the support of experts. These experts do not act as traditional lecturers, but rather as facilitators. Exchange of ideas plays an essential role in this process.
The speaker, Dr. Stefan Uebelacker, is a PhD-holding entrepreneurship researcher, a multi-award-winning speaker, a long-time university lecturer, and an experienced founder. As someone who has experienced both successes and setbacks firsthand, he authentically brings together theory, practice, and down-to-earth realism. His motto: “No scars, no memories—just do it!”
Participation in the GründerWerkstatt is free of charge. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
If you are interested, please register at https://events.coworking-kemnath.de/Gruender/.
