Starthouse Startup! Competition 2026
At the Startup! Competition, fresh ideas meet real challenges: students, creative minds and innovation enthusiasts develop new concepts in just one day for concrete challenges from business and society.
Regional companies act as challenge providers and bring practical tasks to the table — from digitalisation and new business models to the future-focused use of spaces and sites. Participants work in interdisciplinary teams, think openly, and present their results at the end of the day in short pitches.
The Startup Competition is a space for experimentation, new perspectives and bold ideas — without the pressure of perfect business plans, but with plenty of potential for further development.
