30 universities are taking part in the excellence competition. Initiators are two RWTH Aachen University and the Leipzig Graduate School of Management.

EU Commissioner Mariya Gabriel is the patron of the start-up competition "Stage Two", initiated by RWTH Aachen University and the Leipzig Graduate School of Management (HHL). The excellence competition involves 30 universities from 18 European cities, each of which will select their two best start-ups in preliminary rounds.

"Stage Two is the opportunity for entrepreneurial talents to make their business ideas internationally visible, to network and to shape the future," says HHL Rector Stephan Stubner. On October 29, the 60 start-ups will present their concepts live in front of the jury in Berlin, with five prizes up for grabs: Best Tech Start-up, Business Start-up, Best Female Founder Award, Sustainability Award and Digital Business Award. Recent partners of the competition are Microsoft and McKinsey.

Since 2019, Bulgarian Gabriel has been responsible for research, innovation and education at the EU Commission. "For Europe, Stage Two is an opportunity to leverage existing innovation potential. Therefore, we are very pleased to have won the EU Commissioner for Innovation and Research for this European initiative," says Stubner about the Commissioner's patronage.
