FROM STARTUP TO COMPANY

Tutech’s startup support can help you find answers to basic questions on how to establish a successful business

Even before setting up a company there are lots of steps that can secure a competitive advantage and lay firm foundations for the future. We can help to find the answers to fundamental questions at an early stage of the startup. They include working out your unique selling point, identifying a suitable business model or getting an all-round perspective of your company set-up.

Tutech can be your partner, assisting with drawing up business plans and market analyses and applying for grants. Our objective is to work with you to market your good ideas precisely and rapidly and so achieve decisive advantages for your business success in the long term.

Having a good idea is just the start. Founding a successful startup involves lots of separate steps, with lots more to come before a company is established on the market. Tutech has been guiding research and technology-based initiatives throughout the startup process for more than 30 years. Tutech is one of the key players in the Hamburg startup network and shares the responsibility for ensuring that startups are supported seamlessly from the initial idea though to the early phase of company growth. In this support chain, we always work closely in the first phase with the Startup Port at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Since 2019, Hamburg’s largest universities and DESY have joined forces to promote and support academic startups even better and more effectively. In 2023 this cooperation was extended to enlarge Startup Port, providing people from universities and research institutes who are interested in founding a company with a central access point to the startup support units of all participating institutions. Our sister company Hamburg Innovation jointly operates this project.

Startup with team spirit

Choosing the right reliable partners can make a crucial difference at the outset. Even before setting up a company there are lots of steps that can secure a competitive advantage and lay firm foundations for the future. We can help to find the answers to fundamental questions at an early stage of the startup:

Does this satisfy a real customer need?

What unique selling point can be identified for the innovation?

What should the business model look like?

Have I thought of all the important aspects?

Tutech will help you work through these questions and can assist with drawing up business plans and market analyses and applying for grants. Entrepreneurs who are focused on success take advantage of support and get ahead faster as a result. Good ideas have to be marketed precisely and rapidly. Tutech’s matchmaking and mentoring bring decisive advantages for achieving lasting business success.

Tutech provides startups with office and working space for rent in the Startup Port startup campus as well as making single desks in the co-working area available at short notice.
