This year, the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the SCE are once again looking for the best business ideas for the Strascheg Award 2019. The prize will be awarded in three categories, with a total of 33,600 euros in prize money awaiting the winners.
The first category is aimed at ideas from a course, the second category at ideas from the study period and the third at ideas from science and practice.
The decisive criteria for the award are the degree of innovation, the market potential, and the implementation prospects of the idea. All participants receive a personal consultation and qualified feedback on their business idea, as well as the opportunity to receive funding in the SCE's six-month proto-funding program. The business ideas will be evaluated by a jury consisting of entrepreneurship experts from SCE/Munich University of Applied Sciences and evaluated by external partners.
