Your dates will be displayed in your profile. If the places are taken because we only have limited capacities for workshops, please send us an email to bpw@ibb-business-team and we will put you on the waiting list.
Forums
Together with various network partners, the BPW organises forums that are divided into the areas of law and financing.
Let's talk about your finances
At the Finance Forum, you can get to know the investors involved in BPW and find out in detail about financing and funding opportunities in the field of business start-ups in Berlin and Brandenburg. You can expect a mix of lectures, expert talks and pitches.
Law and order
In turn, the Legal Forum offers you informative lectures on current legal topics and questions about setting up a business in Berlin and Brandenburg, as well as networking opportunities. Experienced speakers will shed light on relevant start-up topics and give tips on how to implement your business idea in a legally sound manner.
Business succession @ BPW
A company has been built up over decades with heart and soul and then the day comes when entrepreneurs ask themselves the question of handing over the business. If there is no suitable successor within the family and the company, many companies look for an external successor.
For founders, business succession can be an alternative to starting a new business. In our academy, we would like to inform founders right from the start and give them an overview of which BPW institutions and partners can support them.
In seminars, experts address questions such as:
- Why succeed and not set up your own business?
- How long does the succession process take?
- What documents are needed?
- How do I prepare for a bank interview?
We will publish the seminars in our overview of our dates. You can also find more information in our manual.
Seminars, workshops, forums and start-up knowledge: This package is a valuable knowledge base for your start-up in Berlin or Brandenburg to create a sound and sustainable business plan or a business model canvas.
