Competitions

[Translate to English:]

A range of different start-up competitions offer a good opportunity for acquiring financial assistance with your start-up. They are also an outstanding opportunity to make important contacts and spread the word about your business idea.

All the start-up competitions in Germany are listed together in a practical online tool on the 'Existenzgründer & Jungunternehmen' (business start-ups and young entrepreneurs) website. Anyone thinking of starting a new business can quickly and easily search for a suitable competition by industry or German federal state: http://www.existenzgruender-jungunternehmer.de/p/gruendung/businessplan/wettbewerbe.html

Since the tool has not yet been populated with all of the competitions, you will find a list of other competitions which we think are of interest, below. Most of them are run every year. They are listed in alphabetical order. Please check the requirements given here with the relevant website of the competition host.
