The 2021 Organiser

Chamber of Commerce and Industry Reutlingen
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Reutlingen is very active in the field of start-up support. For three years, it has been running the ESA Business Incubation Centre in Baden-Württemberg, with two sites, one in Reutlingen and one in Friedrichshafen, where it supports up to 30 start-ups over a period of 4 years with financial and business support. The Galileo Masters is very often the starting point for further funding and cooperation possibilities for start-ups because of the initial evaluation by and feedback from the well-chosen jury for the Galileo Masters competition. The Chamber has been enrolled in this since 2007 with a great deal of enthusiasm and support for all of its participants.
