T1  - HHL Entrepreneurship Report 2024
N2  - Entrepreneurship is vital to the self-understanding and international reputation of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management. Yet, the scope of how far-reaching startup activities stemming from it has not fully been depicted. This is what the HHL Entrepreneurship Report 2024 introduces - as the first comprehensive written overview of HHL's startup activities. The release of the report is in line with the introduction of a brand new entrepreneurial degree, which welcomed in fall its first students: our new Master in Entrepreneurship.

This report, which is the first of its kind at HHL, offers a comprehensive overview over HHL's activities to support aspiring and settled entrepeneurs - while also giving voice to and highlighting founders that have grown out of this far-reaching network. In focus of this report stand the startup journeys of the people in the HHL entrepreneurship ecosystem. The report captures all stages of the manifold experiences that founders and entrepreneurs in our network have made - from the initial idea to their startup creation and growth.

The startups emerging out of HHL strongly contribute to socio-economic problem solving in Leipzig, Saxony and beyond. In terms of output, HHL and its alumni perform outstandingly, with a high startup rate, four unicorns, and Stifterverband's #1 Founding University six times in a row. Their activities span many domains, with existing firms and big corporations also borrowing from them - concerning creativity, innovativeness, agility, speed, efficiency, demand-orientation, and costumer-orientation.

HHL is Germany's #1 university for founders. Entrepreneurship has been in the DNA of the university since its foundation in 1898. More than 530 startups - of which four are considered unicorn startups - have emerged out of the university's student and alumni network. HHL has grown its reputation as a valued cooperation and consulting partner due to its manifold expertise in entrepreneurship research, teaching, and transfer.

We hope that this report does not only inform, but also inspire you to incorporate just a little more startup spirit into your life. You are invited to reach out for collaboration - and become part of HHL's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
