Got an idea that moves things forward? Then bring it on course. The HTW Startup Challenge is back for another round — together with Berliner Sparkasse, we’re looking for the most exciting founder teams at HTW Berlin and beyond.
This year, the spotlight is on GreenTech & Impact Entrepreneurship: solutions that make a lasting difference and create real change. Whether you’re working on clean technology, social impact, or an idea built for the future — this is your stage.
What’s waiting for you:
- A pitch in front of a top-tier jury and a strong partner network
- 70–120 guests, welcome drinks, and catering on board
- A one-of-a-kind venue: our popular boat tour along the Spree
- Networking with Berlin’s startup scene
Prizes worth a total of €10,000:
- GreenTech – €4,000
- Impact – €4,000
- Future Visionary (Audience Award) – €2,000
Eight to ten teams will be pre-selected and go head-to-head at the event. Prizes are awarded by Berliner Sparkasse.
