What’s the challenge?

Germany aims to transform its economy away from fossil fuels and resources towards an economy based on high shares of sustainably used renewable resources. We are looking for your ideas, concepts or business models enabling us to practically implement this transformation on the local, regional or national level.

What’s in for you?

As a finalist you will receive an exclusive pitch training in preparation of the event and will be eligible for complementary professional support in visualizing your pitch or other marketing material.

You will have the chance to pitch and discuss your idea during the “UFZ Final Workshop BioEconomy 2017: How to manage BioEconomy Regions?” and network with start-up supporters, industry leaders, policy makers and scientists in the field of bioeconomy.
