Successful proposals can be continued thanks to regional support, for example, by the provision of so-called pre-incubators in Chemnitz and Zwickau. These are managed offices, where company founders can carry out their work. These start-up offices have already been used at the Technologie Centrum Chemnitz since December 2003.

All four universities taking part provide these facilities for company founders and those aspiring to emulate them. The regional network acts as a mediator between those interested in starting up a business and the existing facilities. What is more, other private services to accompany and support those setting up in business are constantly being developed.
