TRIP - Thuringian Regional Innovation Program

TRIP, based in Erfurt, is a startup accelerator that specifically promotes innovative ideas, forward-looking visions, and scalable business models from Thuringia. At its core is a six-month program with hands-on workshops, expert knowledge, individual budget, strategic guidance, and targeted network building. Startups are systematically prepared for investor readiness - covering topics such as business model development, value creation, financing, and market entry. The program concludes with a pitch before an international audience at the Investor Days Thuringia. For particularly promising teams, TRIP offers a three-month extension in the Final TRIP, specifically focused on venture capital financing.
