There are six different categories of product, service or business model. The prerequisite for eligibility is that the business idea must either still be at the university research stage or have been developed by a start-up with a university background.
The winners of the University Innovation Challenge will be chosen in Frankfurt am Main and will widely benefit from a broad mentoring and promotion package, including prominent media coverage. Application is still open until 31 July. More info and application on https://award.handelsblatt.com/university-challenge
