Start-up camp 2023 and business start-up day

If you would like to take part in next year’s start-up camp yourself, you can already apply online on the WFG NF website. The North Frisian Business Start-up Day will also take place again in January 2023: Friday, 27.01.2023 at the North Frisian Innovation Center NIC. The Business Start-up Day is organized by the Chamber of Crafts, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the IB.SH development bank, the WFG NF and many other sponsors and partners for anyone who wants to set up their own business. You can register informally by sending an email to nordfriesland@flensburg.ihk.de.

What support do the future founders receive?

Participants regularly receive input on the core topics in the area of business start-ups, for example financing and funding or self-organization. Networking is not neglected either. Joint activities such as a barbecue evening or a visit to the North Frisian Innovation Center NIC in Niebüll ensure this.

The North Friesland start-up support program is organized by the Husum office of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and the Economic Development Agency (WFG NF), and is financed by the district of North Friesland and sponsors such as Nord-Ostsee-Sparkasse.
