Düsseldorf Start-up Week awards 10,000-euro prize

The Start-up Week in Düsseldorf starts on 4 June with 120 events. This is interesting for founders with an idea but no further plan yet. There is also the prize for the best business model or the best pitch to be won.

It's Start-up Week in Düsseldorf again: from 4 to 11 June there will be lots of events all about the scene. Anyone who already has an idea in mind but has not yet pushed ahead with its implementation and further development can take part in the start-up competition "NEXT Award Düsseldorf". During the competition there will be three workshops in which the business idea will be tested and the business model talked through.

There will be the award "Best Business Model", which will be rewarded with 10,000 euros in services. In addition, there is the category "Best Pitch", which is decided by public voting and has a voucher of 3,000 euros as a prize. A jury of experts will decide on the best business model.

The award ceremony will take place on October 7, the kick-off event is on June 4. There will be 120 events during the start-up week, and there will also be plenty for people interested in setting up a business. It takes place both analogue and digitally.
