(Future) services

Throughout the entire BaMS project period, we are developing services that we can already offer some of our founders. After an initial consultation, we will decide together whether, how and in which direction we will continue. If we want to be in the same boat from now on, we will work with you to develop a tailor-made support package, because every founder is at a different stage – some just need a little wind in their sails, while with others we build the ship together. In other words, some just need financing, others are unfamiliar with permits, some are already almost professionals in their field, and others have only just begun to develop an idea. We meet you where you are right now.

We would like to offer you the following, and we are currently working on it:

1. Financing

2. Location search

3. Co-working space

4. Toxicological assessment of foodstuffs

5. Environmental balance, material flow analyses

6. Product development, marketing

7. Assistance with approval procedures
