Three competition phases for tailored support
To best address the individual questions and requirements of startups at each stage of their formation, the business plan competition is divided into three phases: In the first phase of the competition, the idea phase, the business idea and its market potential are closely examined. This enables teams to identify opportunities early on and adapt their strategy accordingly. In the subsequent concept phase, the business model is developed and fine-tuned together with experts. In the final phase, start-ups plan their concrete go-to-market in detail, in the form of a business plan or read deck. Interested parties and founders can join in at any phase or participate in all phases.
