Startup Radar: HHL once again front runner among Germany’s entrepreneurial universities
For the sixth time in a row, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management has received an award for its optimum promotion of startups from Stifterverband. The Leipzig-based business school once again has earned the top rank in the category of universities of up to 5,000 students in the latest Startup Radar.
“HHL provides a unique “ecosystem” for founders. In addition to the entrepreneurial mindset, founders at HHL benefit from mentors, like-minded people, co-founders and a broad investor network.”
Creating excellent framework conditions for founders in Germany
For years, it has been HHL’s core mission to create excellent framework conditions for founders in Germany and, particularly, at a regional level. In addition to a broad range of courses in the fields of startups, innovation and entrepreneurship, HHL also offers a vast number of open formats to promote the entrepreneurial spirit in the city and the region. HHL offers various curricular and extra-curricular programs to enhance students’ entrepreneurial skills. We focus on taking a holistic approach to entrepreneurial leadership and understanding the fundamentals of general management within our essential course programs. The entrepreneurship courses equip both our MBA and MSc students with the necessary tools and methods to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and put their ideas into practice. The curriculum enables our students to identify business opportunities, understand disruptive technologies and customer needs, and gain the knowledge to develop a business plan.
The Startup Radar is a study for which the authors survey all state and state-recognized private universities regarding their services in startup promotion. The ranking then allows universities, politics, the economy as well as business developers to see how far startup culture has been developed at a specific school and where there is potential. The Startup Radar is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and is compiled by Stifterverband in collaboration with the Marga und Kurt Möllgaard Foundation. It was first published in 2012.
