Leinfelden-Echterdingen: New Center for founders opens 2026!
Friedrich-List-Straße, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Deutschland - In Leinfelden-Echterdingen something is happening: A new founding and innovation center (GIZ) will open its doors in about a year. The location, which is located on Friedrich-List-Straße, will offer young founders and emerging start-ups optimal conditions for business success. This became clear in an entrepreneur dialog on the campus of the Weitmann & Konrad (WEKO) campus, where around 120 guests came together to learn more about the ambitious project. In this context, Mayor Otto Ruppaner spoke of the "revitalization of commercial areas" and the support of start -ups, which is to be significantly promoted by GIZ. The city administration reports about the immense importance of this facility for the local economy.
The exchange during the entrepreneur dialog already revealed the great interest in the new center. Marcel Konrad from Weko emphasized not only the development of the location, but also the opportunity that GIZ offers for both founders and established companies that want to launch new and innovative projects. After all, the center will not only create space for founders, but also promote space for creative ideas and cooperation.
space for development and cooperation
The founding and innovation center is provided on an impressive 880 square meters, distributed on four floors, all necessary infrastructures: from laboratories to workshops to offices and common rooms. The conversion of the built dream is scheduled to begin this year before the doors will finally be opened in 2026. In addition to the premises, the GIZ is also operated by an external service provider, so that a modern and innovative working environment is guaranteed here.
Daniel Ludin, chairman of the LE industrial and business association, underlined the need to establish such a center in order to continue to live the city through exchange of ideas and networking. The importance of GIZ is also made by Prof. Dr. Ralf Vögele from the University of Hohenheim, who sees it as an important cooperation partner for start -up initiatives.
