What is PionierGarage e.V.?

PionierGarage e.V. is THE student Entrepreneurship Club at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It addresses entrepreneurial issues for KIT’s finests researchers and scientists as well as its students and graduates.

Founded in 2009, PionierGarage e.V. opens the entrepreneurship scene to Karlsruhe students, graduates and PhDs, shows them an alternative to the “corporate world” and encourages them to not underestimate their ideas and to become entrepreneurs.

By providing know-how, methodologies and an international network of students, (co-)founders, investors, supporting partners and experienced entrepreneurs, we aim to support the fast growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Karlsruhe, Germany and Europe.

During the last years we managed to establish a transregional entrepreneurial network together with different business partners and other entrepreneurship clubs.

Check out our event section for an overview about our exciting event formats in Karlsruhe and the Rhine Valley region.
