SAXEED Center for Entrepreneurship nurtures an entrepreneurial climate in academia and supports the creation of new ventures by scientists, alumni and students. We offer entrepreneurship education and tangible advice for start-ups at four universities in south-western Saxony – Chemnitz University of Technology, TU Bergakademie Freiberg as well as the two Universities of Applied Sciences in Mittweida and Zwickau.

Our qualified and experienced consultants work on-site at all four universities and thus can provide you with the best service possible. This quality is proven by results: in the last 5 years more than 2,000 students and staff attended a variety of academic courses. More than 100 start-up companies grew out of 240 business ideas, creating more than 350 new jobs in the process.

Since all of the represented universities have strong ties in natural science, engineering and IT, SAXEED focuses strongly on the creation of technology-based firms. This also makes very much sense economically: with technology based start-ups being a third of all the new ventures assisted by SAXEED, they created about half of the new jobs.

Unfortunalety, our workshops and lectures are currently only available in german. If you would like to get more information on any of those, please consult our german pages. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate and contact us!
