Kassel University has been a "start-up university" since the beginning of 2013. This award was presented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy as part of the EXIST funding competition. The topic of "entrepreneurial thinking and acting" plays a major role at the University of Kassel. The Science Park Kassel is the place and symbol of the foundation profiling. In the new innovation and start-up centre, all activities of the start-up promotion are spatially combined on the campus.
