Free startup consultations in Rastatt guide future entrepreneurs to success

The City of Rastatt and the Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce (IHK) are teaming up to offer free one-on-one consultations for aspiring entrepreneurs. The event, hosted on Eventbrite, takes place on Wednesday, March 11, at the Startup Center on Rauentaler Straße 22/1, starting at 1 p.m. Both newcomers with early ideas and those finalising business plans can attend for tailored advice.

Participants will meet with Bianca Schmid, a startup advisor from the Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce. Each 30-minute session will focus on individual needs, covering essential steps for launching a business. Attendees can ask practical questions and receive personalised guidance.

The sessions aim to provide founders with clear direction, useful contacts, and key insights for self-employment. Registration remains open until Wednesday, March 4, via an informal email to Nick Großmann of Rastatt's economic development office. He will then confirm available time slots for each participant.

No details have been released on how many people have signed up so far.

The consultations offer a chance for future entrepreneurs to refine their plans and address specific challenges. Organisers hope the event will help attendees move forward with confidence. Those interested must register by March 4 to secure a spot for the main event of their business journey.
