Our mission is: With cooperation to innovation. We create cooperation between SMEs and start-ups so that new things are successfully created. The SME & Start-up Cooperation project is carried out by Bayern Innovativ and BayStartUP and is initiated and funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy (StMWi). Get involved.
