Get on Board!

Become part of the next TRIP Class and benefit from the 7-month accelerator programme!

We are looking for motivated, diverse teams – courageous, cooperative and willing to go the extra mile.
Our programme is open to all industries and is aimed at anyone who wants to tackle tomorrow’s challenges and shape the future with innovative approaches, products or new technologies.

Have you already completed the idea phase and now want to move on to product development? Is your business model forward-looking, your approach innovative and scalable? Then TRIP is the right place for you.

Be part of the next TRIP class and benefit from the 6-month accelerator program!

TRIP is open to all industries and is aimed at everyone who wants to challenge the status quo of the markets with new ideas, products and processes. It does not matter if you just have a business idea or if you have already founded a start-up, we will accelerate your innovation!

Whether you are spinning off from a research institution, coming from an existing company, or are a student, graduate, or scientist setting up your first technology-oriented or knowledge-based start-up, at TRIP, it is your vision that counts.
Important: You want to set up a business in Thuringia or have already done so and are now ready to go full steam ahead. We are looking for 10 teams who want to do just that.

Your Motivation Video

Is there anything else you’d like to share with us that didn’t fit in the application form? If so, feel free to send us a short video of yourself.

Max. 1 minute—a smartphone is perfectly fine.
We’re not looking for a perfect production; we just want to get to know you and your motivation.

Here are some examples of what you can tell us:

  • Why is now the right time for TRIP?
  • What do you hope to achieve with TRIP?
  • What else should we definitely know about you?

The video is optional and will not affect whether your application is considered.

If you have any questions about TRIP and the application process, please contact TRIP coordinator Florian:
