Previous participants in the competition include Fazua, Magazine, Presize and Quantum Systems.
In preparatory workshops, participants learn how to convincingly present their business project and its capital requirements in a business plan or read deck. The winners receive prize money of €30,000.
All participants receive individual expert feedback on their submission. The independent jury includes founders, entrepreneurs, and investors.
