Young Makers Festival gives insight into starting a business

"Encouraging entrepreneurial thinking requires you to start early," said Rolf Strittmatter, Managing Director of Hamburg Invest. The Young Makers Festival provides a framework in which young people can develop and realise their own ideas in a practical manner backed by  strong partners and without the usual obstacles. Thus, they learn that business is creative and socially relevant, not abstract."

There will also be hands-on activities about startups, as well as talks with founders and experts, and presentations. Young founders will explain how they set up their companies, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce will outline the prerequisites, and experts will discuss how teachers can support their students. There will also be numerous educational offers such as Seed, IW Junior, Futurepreneur, Start Hamburg, the Körber Start-Hub, the Young Talents Hamburg (YOTA) scheme, the Young Founders Network, and the  business workshop offered by the Chamber of Commerce.
