The Ministry for Finance and Economy in Baden-Wuerttemberg has recently launched the new 'Elevator Pitch BW' competition. The aim is to support young Startups from Baden-Wuerttemberg to enter the market, establish the company within the market boundaries and thereby create new jobs. Baden-Wuerttemberg is the first federal state to offer an elevator program in order to increase entrepreneurial engagement in the region.
Each Startup will have the opportunity to convince the jury by presenting their business idea within three minutes. The elevator event offers an attractive platform to present your business idea in front of a jury and an attractive audience: Among the listeners will be potential investors, representatives of regional institutions, business partners and potential customers. The presentation should creatively entertain and convince the jury and the audience. Up to ten participants will compete against each other in the regional cups. The winner of each regional cup will win 300 euros and will also qualify for the Baden-Wuerttemberg federal final. The first regional cups will start in November 2013 - the first one taking place at November 8, 2013 in Konstanz.
Interested entrepreneurs and Startups can apply for the regional cups via http://www.elevatorpitch-bw.de.
