The Ideas Competition, "Inspired – The Ideas Competition. In MV." is aimed at anyone who wants to develop an innovative idea or research outcome. We are looking for innovative ideas and research results from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern research area. The competition is open to a wide range of individuals interested in setting up a business, including students, research assistants, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, professors, graduates, members of participating research institutes, craftspeople, and others. You can participate both individually and in teams. There is no industry focus – ideas from all disciplines and subject areas are welcome. Participants will benefit from coaching, workshops and attractive prize money to help them take the next step towards setting up their own business.
