Germany Startup Grants: A Guide to Free Money and Funding Options
Kristina Savina
In the early stages of launching a startup, securing funding can be one of the biggest challenges. While many entrepreneurs turn to investors, business angels, or private capital, there’s a better, often overlooked option: grants.
“Welcome back to Nigeria” – the energetic handshake and warm smile of Adedayo*, one of the security guards in my Lagosian hotel, are truly catching. Though Nigeria is characterized by multifaceted conflicts, the country stands for so much more than a flourishing private security service industry. Here are three things I have learned since starting to issue long-term loans to Nigerian banks in my capacity as Investment Manager at the German Finance Corporation “DEG”.

LANDO: A Frankfurt Health-Tech Startup on a Mission to Redefine Patient Safety
Tom Godbersen
We didn’t start with a big vision—we found a massive problem in a niche we couldn’t ignore. By working closely with clinicians and our Medical Advisory Board, we uncovered a major issue: critical medical knowledge was scattered, outdated, buried in complexity and hard to access when it mattered most.

Berufsbegleitend zum Betriebswirt: Warum es sich lohnt dran zu bleiben

Alexander Ulrich

Der Betriebswirt war mehrfach Thema im Vorstellungsgespräch - es wurde als äußerst positiv aufgefasst, dass die Bereitschaft da ist, sich neben der Arbeit weiterzubilden. Inhalte aus Studienthemen wie Risikomanagement, Finanzmanagement und Portfoliomanagement waren teilweise fachliche Themen im Vorstellungsgespräch. Die also bereits im noch nicht einmal abgeschlossenen Studium erlernten Inhalte haben mir letztlich schon etwas gebracht. Nicht zuletzt, weil ich zwei Wochen später die Zusage für die Stelle erhielt. Der Betriebswirt an der Frankfurt School hat sich für mich also schon gelohnt - noch bevor er überhaupt abgeschlossen war.

Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen: Mein Bankfachwirt-Studium an der Frankfurt School
Özgürcan Baş
Als ich mein Bankfachwirt-Studium an der Frankfurt School begann, hatte ich gemischte Gefühle. Besonders das Online-Format bereitete mir anfangs Sorgen. Würde ich meine Kommilitonen überhaupt kennenlernen? Würden wir nur anonyme Namen auf Bildschirmen bleiben?
On the evening of 23 January 2025, I had the unique opportunity to attend the Semester Opening Event at the European Central Bank (ECB), organised specifically for Master’s students at Frankfurt School. As a second-semester Master of Finance student, this event was a fantastic way to kick off the semester and explore the critical challenges facing the ECB today.

Engineering concepts – Why language matters

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Köhler

Current political discourse teems with discussions about language. People get hot-headed about gender-neutral language, street names, what one is “still allowed to say,” and the limits of political correctness. Recently, the German state of Bavaria’s conservative government even went so far as to ban outright gender-neutral spellings in all legal and administrative state regulation, the justification being that such spellings would make official regulations harder to understand.

Risk and Reward: Transforming SME Financing in Iraq

Callum Lee

A country steeped in rich history of ancient civilisations and breathtaking natural landscapes, Iraq’s beauty contrasts starkly with the challenges it faces today. Iraq has endured years of conflict and political instability which has severely impacted economic activity, no less for its crucial SME sector.Access to finance remains a significant hurdle for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Iraq. Despite being the backbone of the economy, contributing significantly to employment rates and GDP, SMEs face substantial barriers to obtaining the financial resources they need to grow and sustain their operations.
