Hessen Ideen - Competition
In the Hesse-wide ideas competition, the best entrepreneurial ideas from all Hessian universities compete against each other. The aim of the competition is to expand the start-up culture at Hessian universities, to network the universities more closely with each other and to support the ideas of the university members as well as to make them known beyond the borders of Hesse. The patron is Boris Rhein, Hessen's Minister of Science and the Arts.
Each year, universities in Hessen can enter up to three teams or individuals who can demonstrate a concrete interest in founding a company. The nominated ideas can come from all departments and from students as well as employees, professors or alumni. The winners are selected in a three-stage process by online voting and expert opinion, as well as by a jury, and receive comprehensive support in promoting their start-up. The "Hessen Ideen" competition is organized by the University of Kassel.
