    Starting gun for the voting at the Make it Lean Contest!

    The voting has begun!

    Since Sunday night, it’s official – the pitch videos of the participating startups in the Make It Lean Contest are online and voting is already in full swing.
    The ideas are diverse and include software developments, sustainable environmental projects, technical innovations, and much more.
    During a three-week voting phase, users will decide on the winners of the competition, which not only offers impressive prize money, but also the opportunity to get an up-close look at the comprehensive programs at the Startup Incubator Berlin and ask questions directly about possible scholarship applications.

    Voting is still open until February 1st, and of course feel free to share across all channels:

    “The crowning moment at the end”

    In the truest sense of the word, the “crowning” of the winners will take place at the very end — on Thursday, 02/11/2021 at 5:00 PM. Registrations for the exciting awards ceremony for spectators are already open!

    At the awards ceremony, five startup teams will be recognized for their founding ideas.

    The winners of the three main prizes will be determined by the public vote, and in addition there are two special awards — one for the best Lean method and one for the best software. An expert jury will also be deliberating on the day of the awards ceremony.

    Of course, after the official part there will also be celebration with music, networking, digital drinks, and further surprises – on the successful platform Wonder.me – an alumni startup from the Startup Incubator. It’s worth signing up!

  • 2nd Phase of the Business Plan Competition Berlin-Brandenburg

    2nd Phase of the Business Plan Competition Berlin-Brandenburg

    High time to apply for the BPW! – Submission deadline 16.02.21

    More than 2,000 companies have been supported since the beginning in 1995 and over 15,000 new jobs have been created through the founding initiative of the Business Plan Competition Berlin-Brandenburg.

    The Business Plan Competition Berlin-Brandenburg is Germany’s largest founding initiative, which was once launched by Prof. Dr. Sven Ripsas, Professor of Entrepreneurship at Berlin School of Economics and Law.

    With around 140 seminar offerings per year, a network of over 300 experts and jurors, as well as numerous networking events, the BPW has since been supporting aspiring founders on their path to self-employment. More than 2,000 successful companies have emerged from this!

    The BPW helps startups with the creation of their business concept (business plan or Business Model Canvas), and more than 50,000 euros in prize money is awarded.

    Entry is possible at any time, even if you have not participated in previous award ceremonies or events. Participation in the seminar program is also not required, but of course a great added value.

    The next important dates:

    Important requirements for participation:

    • The founding is planned or has taken place in Berlin and/or Brandenburg
    • The founding has not yet taken place or did not take place before October 2019
    • The business concept was created personally by the team members (not created by management consultants, etc.)

    Participation is worthwhile for all startups and aspiring founders. The BPW’s offering is free of charge, and you receive detailed feedback on your own startup idea from high-caliber experts. Our teams from Startup Incubator Berlin also participate regularly and have always achieved top rankings.

    We wish all teams the best of luck!
