Successful in business, successful in innovation
Starting a successful company and positioning it for the future takes more than specialist knowledge: it also requires entrepreneurial skills. Implementing innovative ideas within existing company structures brings particular challenges. Innovation skills are a key factor in success.
Personal development
How well can I organize myself and others? How flexibly do I respond to changes and disruptions around me? How well do I handle stress, and can I quickly rethink an approach when needed? With support from our professionals, you can develop personally and face the future with greater confidence.
Motivation
Motivation is essential to building a successful company or innovating, while also setting a good example for employees. Values and visions can provide important motivation. It’s also important to maintain and strengthen enthusiasm for your work.
Social and communication skills
The right tone matters with customers, business partners, colleagues, funders and employees alike. Understanding other people, recognizing their needs and offering solutions are all part of being a successful entrepreneur.
Problem-solving
Sometimes failure feels very close. Yet even when a situation seems stuck and nothing appears to help, there are different ways to find solutions. The only cause that’s lost is one you give up on.
Self-management
Working for yourself and driving innovation offer almost unlimited freedom, along with major challenges. From managing time and tasks to focusing on what matters and organizing the office, responsibility rests with you.
Business basics for founders and innovation know-how
Some knowledge is indispensable for successfully starting a business or delivering innovation projects within a company. That includes business and legal knowledge, as well as a deeper understanding of the obstacles to implementing technological and other innovations.
Innovation certificate
By attending regularly, you can earn the innovation certificate as proof of your innovation skills. It demonstrates the skills you’ve gained in communication, motivation, problem-solving and more. It’s a mark of quality for you as an employee, a driver of innovation within a company or an entrepreneur.
Your route to the certificate
- Attend Startup and Innovation Academy events regularly
- Earn at least 450 credits (each event awards a different number of credits)
- Attend one event in each area of expertise
Strengthening the regional economy together
The Goslar district aims to develop the Goslar economic region into an attractive location for companies and startups that is recognized beyond the region. People in the region should be encouraged and equipped to build a new working future through successful self-employment.
The Startup and Innovation Academy is a key part of achieving these goals. With financial support from the Goslar district, you benefit from high-quality continuing education that may be barely covered, if at all, in your professional or academic training. The Academy awards its innovation certificate as a mark of quality at no cost to you.
Academy partners and supporters
Alongside its main sponsor, the Goslar district, other cooperation partners and sponsors support the project. They too recognize the importance of adaptable, successful and visionary entrepreneurs to a dynamic regional economy.
Experts from the region
True to its motto, ‘From the region, for the region,’ the Academy primarily brings together local experts who share their specialist knowledge and many years of practical experience with you.
TU Clausthal Graduate Academy
We offer joint events with the Graduate Academy. You can attend them even if you’re not pursuing a doctorate at TU Clausthal.
