Ort: Start-up Campus OWL

Together with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIKE), garage33, the start-up centre of Paderborn University, is presenting an exciting event format on the Start-up Campus OWL: The "Meet, Greet + Beat" roadshow of the "#GründenNRW" initiative offers the opportunity to find out more about the topic of start-ups, exchange experiences and make contacts with the start-up scene in NRW on Thursday, 18 April, from 5 pm. The focus will be on the competition between five start-ups, who will compete against each other on stage with their business ideas. The event will take place on the premises of garage33 on the Start-up Campus OWL. Further information and free tickets for the roadshow are available on the event website.

The third edition of the "Meet, Greet + Beat" event series is all about social entrepreneurship and climate protection. Five start-ups from NRW will pitch their forward-looking start-up ideas in front of a jury. Within four minutes, the teams have to show on stage what makes their start-up unique and why it has the potential to become a successful company. They have the chance to win prize money of 2,000 euros and advance to the roadshow final in Düsseldorf in autumn.They will then compete against the winners of the other roadshow stops to win the main prize of EUR 5,000 sponsored by "NRW.BANK".

Throughout the evening, those interested in founding a company can be inspired by short impulses and get to know experts from regional funding and start-up counselling as well as other founders and people interested in founding a company in a relaxed atmosphere. Start-up teams will also present their innovative ideas at various exhibition stands. In addition to garage33 and the "GründungsOffensive Paderborn", the "Founders Foundation" and TH OWL are partners from all over East Westphalia-Lippe. In recent months, the "#gründenNRW" roadshow has already made stops in Aachen, Wuppertal, Münster and Dortmund. A stop in Cologne is planned before the grand finale in Düsseldorf.
