Formnext Start-up Challenge - apply now
This year, the Formnext Start-up Challenge is once again recognizing young and innovative companies that are no older than five years.
What is new, however, is that the "AM Ventrues Impact Award" will also be presented as part of the sixth edition. The latter honors approaches to sustainability that are derived from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Environmental considerations such as green energy and resource conservation as well as social aspects such as education and equality play an important role here.
Applicants for the Formnext Start-up Challenge must fulfill the following criteria: Young companies that are "fit for the market" with their product or service in terms of customers, product status and sales are eligible to participate. At the same time, the start-up must not be majority-owned by an established company and must have been founded after December 31, 2014. The closing date for entries is September 4, 2020.
