Munich overtakes Berlin for the first time in terms of the number of start-ups founded per capita and thus takes the lead nationwide.

The BR Bayerischer Rundfunk has produced a report about our Start-up League team ecomates. Every day, a lot of organic waste is produced and simply thrown away. A banana peel, for example, has enough energy to light a lamp for half an hour. ecomates wants to put an end to this waste of energy and developed a biogas plant that can be integrated into the household.

The idea was born in the Deep Dive Master Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation.

Time flies so fast! Half a year ago, our Start-up League Team Silberfluss (formerly Advogarde) received the EXIST-Gründerstipendium from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
