The aim of the STEP Award is to provide important impetus for the successful development of young companies that have been in existence for at least one year and have already generated initial revenue.

so Simon Hentschel<\/strong>, Head of Start-up and Growth Projects at FAZ-Fachverlag.<\/p>\n

The aim is to generate more good business ideas and recognize groundbreaking pioneers. The best applicants will be selected through a multi-stage process and, for the first time this year, will receive pitch deck training. This is designed to prepare the finalists for their presentations to the expert jury at the Elevator Talk. The winners will be honored again in 2018 at a gala ceremony.<\/p>\n

Industry and theme awards<\/h3>\n

In addition to the business idea and management team, the evaluation focuses on the criteria "market\/customer," "processes," "technology\/product\/service," and "finance." One industry award is given in each of the three sectors (science, technology, and IT).<\/p>\n

In addition, the jury will select a theme winner from among all finalists sustainability<\/em> and, for the first time this year, the special prize winner Digitalization\/Industry 4.0\/Blockchain<\/em>.<\/p>\n
