The Founder Café focuses on the exchange of ideas and networking. Keynote speeches provide food for thought and motivation to follow suit and do it yourself. These are given by experienced entrepreneurs, experts, young founders and people interested in starting up a business.
The subsequent Get-together offers the opportunity to ask experienced founders about their recipes for success in terms of team accuise, market entry or financing strategies.
Dr. Achim Dilling, current Chancellor of the University of Passau, launched the event in 2012. Since then, the organising team regularly invites founders in different start-up phases as well as entrepreneurship experts who pass on start-up-relevant information to the participants.
The city of Passau as well as startup-related institutions from business and society support the Founders Café, including the Lower Bavarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Hans Lindner Foundation and the Lower Bavarian Startup Centre for Digitalisation.
