In previous years, this figure had been 145 (2015) and 124 (2014). Around \u20ac3 million in prize money went to 750 winning startups. The study expects a further increase for the current year: around 190 startup competitions have already been announced for 2017. Ren\u00e9 Klein, Managing Director of F\u00fcr-Gr\u00fcnder.de, says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe increasing number shows the importance of start-up competitions, which make an important contribution to promoting start-ups,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn addition to prize money, founders benefit primarily from network access, feedback, know-how and media attention.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>One in six top startups comes from Munich<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, the study authors searched for the 50 startups that performed best in the competitions examined.
