The "Startup Ems-Dollart Region" project aims to promote cross-border cooperation between start-ups and young entrepreneurs between the north of the Netherlands and north-west Germany. The project partners come from the Ems-Dollart-Region: Inqubator Leeuwarden, Zero to One in Emmen, Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, it.emsland, Wirtschaftsförderung und Stadtmarketing der Stadt Emden GmbH, and Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen as lead partners. A well-developed start-up ecosystem makes it easier for founders to access significant start-up resources. The Startup EDR ecosystem consists of companies, public authorities, educational institutions and other public and non-public institutions. The aim is to establish a sustainable cross-border network among all participants. This ecosystem reduces the border's barrier effect and enables participants to cooperate beyond the national border. The Start-up EDR project, expands consulting activities on business start-up issues, especially with a cross-border focus, throughout the entire Ems-Dollart-region and to develop and communicate the associated potential. In doing so, existing actors and activities of the regional ecosystems are to be used in order to involve and link the population and economy on the German-Dutch border. In this way, the entire Ems-Dollart region's innovative strength is to be stimulated in the long term and new career prospects and jobs promoted.
