In ODERLAND-SPREE there is the right support for every start-up project. Universities, the counties and chambers of industry and commerce work closely together and thus offer an excellent start-up environment. The topic of company succession also has a high priority with us.

Company Succession
For the continued existence of many companies and craft enterprises in the ODERLAND-SPREE region, successful business succession is an important prerequisite. That is why, for example, the East Brandenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the East Brandenburg Region Chamber of Crafts have launched succession projects to specifically prepare and support owners and managing directors, but also to raise awareness among those interested in succession.
With the foundation should already be thought about what happens if I ever fail as an entrepreneur ...
