These can be institutions that work on behalf of the public sector or as private associations for founders, as well as commercial providers of consulting, training or other services. Our approach is not to plant another tree in the already dense jungle of advice. Rather, the aim is to provide those interested in founding a company with an overview of where they can obtain what information and help during their planning phase.

The unifying element is the commitment to founders in Salzgitter. The members of the network cooperate on a collegial basis. Care is taken to ensure that founders are referred to the most suitable network members. Only those who meet the quality requirements laid down by the advisory network are accepted as advisors. The regional presence of the advisors is guaranteed.

The coordination office of the advisory network is the Salzgitter Economic Development Agency. In addition to coordinating the activities of the advisory network for business founders, the Salzgitter Economic Development Agency assumes a "pilot function" for founders from Salzgitter. It thus acts as a central point of contact and coordination for founders seeking advice as well as for young companies that are still in an early phase of life. The aim is to optimize the need for advice associated with start-up projects and to support founders and young companies from Salzgitter as a reliable contact and "coach".
