dear friends and supporters of the Goslar Startup Region,
a new year – a fresh start. Or rather: a new year – new opportunities!

This year, too, we will actively support a successful and vibrant startup scene in Goslar district through our advice, events and information.
Make the most of the opportunities and make 2026 your year! Become self-employed or develop your business further. Connect, exchange ideas and become active members of the Goslar Startup Region. And if you’re enthusiastic about your new life’s work, spread the word!
We wish you a successful 2026 – both personally and professionally.
