The goAward for excel­lent start-up ideas

The best prepa­ra­tion for the appli­ca­tion is to attend the goWork­shops (Entre­pre­neu­rial Skills, Tools & Advanced). There you will learn the tools you need for a strong busi­ness model and will stra­te­gi­cally develop your project idea. If you would like to apply for the goAward, use your know­ledge and results from the goWork­shops und show us the poten­tial of your idea!

Present your start-up plan on maximum two DIN A4 pages with this information:

• Project name and names of the team members
• Presen­ta­tion of the project / product / service (text and images)
• Completed Busi­ness Model Canvas for the project
• Presen­ta­tion of the problem and solu­tion (text and images)

Addi­tio­nally, you will get the oppor­tu­nity to present to a jury with a 3‑minute pitch. Then the jury will pose ques­tions for your project. 

You can find a temp­late for your appli­ca­tion, to help guarantee a stan­dar­dized submission.
