Start your vision. Now! But how?
Reutlingen University in the Neckar-Alb region of south-western Germany provides young entrepreneurs with ideal business implementation opportunities. They are supported by dedicated professors from various faculties who integrate entrepreneurship into teaching and therefore encourage students’ entrepreneurial spirit.
The Center for Entrepreneurship brings these activities together and is a one-stop shop for all questions about innovation, entrepreneurship and founding a company. With the wide range of opportunities available, we familiarise students with everything involved in founding a startup, teaching them to adopt an innovative mindset and to make entrepreneurial decisions.

Thomas Rehmet
Head of Accelerator Project and Head of the Center for Entrepreneurship
There is (virtually) nothing that Thomas hasn’t done at Reutlingen University. He started as the alumni officer, before working in career advising and establishing the “TIC Career Day”. He has also organised the campus festival, edited the university magazine and, since 2015, he has been responsible for the entrepreneurs at the university’s Center for Entrepreneurship. Initially, this was just a casual role before he became a key team member in 2017, offering support to the entire team. His daily working life is still very varied. He advises the teams and those interested in founding a company and gives them an overview of the wide range of opportunities offered by Reutlingen University and its partners. A key part of his role is networking with partners, experts and other entrepreneurs.
What motivates me
Every day something new. and the business plans are just as varied as the university is. There are ever-present topics and absolutely exotic ideas. But the topic is not important – it depends on doing it! And that is his passion. Implementing things, to bring new project ideas on the way and just on the side to move sustainability forward. Start-up means to go through life with open eyes and a curious look.

As Professor of Innovation and Sustainability and Presidential Board Representative for Entrepreneurship + Transfer at Reutlingen University, supporting start-ups is particularly important to me. Thanks to my own entrepreneurial experience, I know how exciting and challenging it can be to set up a company.
What motivates me
Start-ups are incredibly important for our society. They bring fresh ideas, drive innovation and create new jobs. In this way, founders ensure that we remain competitive. That is why I am passionate about supporting young founders, sharing my own experiences and promoting their innovative projects. Together, we can make a difference and shape the future.
