The focus is on one particular network initiative - GET UP - which is part of the federal program ?EXIST ? University-based start-ups?. Goals, activities and measures of GET UP are presented. The objective of the paper is to draw a conclusion from the previous work of GET UP and to share knowledge and experience in supporting start-up companies from universities and in encouraging entrepreneurship among students and staff.
