HHU Ideas Competition
Everything starts with an idea!
The origin of every business model and every problem solution is a good idea - and in the Ideas Competition of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) we are looking for exactly such an idea. You already have your first ideas on sticky notes on the wall, a first draft on a beer mat or maybe your idea only exists in your head? It doesn't matter, because now you have the chance to bring your idea to light and test its potential for further development into a viable business model. We support you with valuable tips and suggestions!

- Category II: Scientists, graduates, employees of the HHU, the affiliated institutes and the University Hospital Düsseldorf as well as mixed teams
You can apply as an individual or as part of a team.
What do I need to submit?
Quite simply, just your idea sketch. Please use our template and send it back to us filled out to:
What can I win?
1.st prize*: 800 € 2nd prize*: 500 € 3rd prize*: 300 €

The prize money can be used for the further development of your idea in the year after the award ceremony - for example for coaching, equipment etc.
What else do I need to know?
