Our Summer School for Diverse Startups is back with a new batch. Powered by SpinLab and HHL Digital Space, the programme is dedicated to advancing inclusion and equal opportunities within the startup ecosystem. It supports founders from underrepresented backgrounds in overcoming structural barriers, strengthening their visibility, expanding their networks, and bringing their ideas to a wider audience across Germany. This year’s edition is backed by a strong network of partners, including EDIH Saxony, the City of Leipzig, Ostwerk, TGFS, S-Beteiligungen, and Germany Trade & Invest.

The Leipzig Summer School for Diverse Startups, an initiative by SpinLab and HHL Digital Space, returns for its fifth year. Once again, it will support early-stage startups led by underrepresented founders. The program offers participants a customized experience to help them develop and refine their business ideas.

The next Summer School For Diverse Startups will kick off soon! This time we teamed up with the incubator HHL Digital Space. Diversity drives company success. That’s a result many studies have shown. Yet, diverse startups still lack access to networks and resources like funding. Our mission: more diversity, equality and inclusion in the startup world. Of course this cannot be achieved alone. It’s a major challenge that we must tackle together. We are extremely happy to have strong partners who support our important mission. As a partner we could win the city of Leipzig, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen.
