"Start-up guide": orientation, network and concrete support

The Economic Development Agency of the City of Mainz is publishing the new start-up guide - a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to start a business or is already in the middle of the start-up process. For the first time, the guide bundles central information, contacts and offers of the Mainz start-up ecosystem in a compact and practical form.

The goal of the Startup Guide is to make it significantly easier for aspiring entrepreneurs and founders to access relevant resources. In addition to an overview of advisory services, networks, and central contact points, the publication also includes information on events, programs, and training opportunities to help take the first steps toward self-employment.

“It is a central priority for us to provide the best possible support to founders and those interested in starting a business on their journey. With the Startup Guide, we are providing them with a reliable roadmap that consistently directs them to the right places and resources within our ecosystem and offers guidance,” emphasizes Manuela Matz, Head of the Economic Development Department.

Mainz Economic Development views the guide as a dynamic tool that provides direction while simultaneously highlighting the diversity of the local startup scene. Especially in the early stages, it is crucial to quickly find the right contacts and take advantage of suitable support services.

Special thanks go to the numerous partners from Mainz’s startup ecosystem, who have contributed significantly to the creation of the guide through their content contributions and their long-standing, trusting collaboration.

The Startup Guide is now available online and can be downloaded here (opens in a new tab).

Alternatively, the brochure can also be requested through the City of Mainz Startup Hub.
