Founder Competition 2025

Register now for the 25th round of promotion Nordhessen

The nationwide start-up competition promotion Nordhessen aims to give company founders a good start. Through comprehensive, individual and free advice on developing an individual company strategy, founders, successors and start-ups can sharpen their business model and develop it further individually.

1st step in Waldeck-Frankenberg

SPARK: The Ideas Competition
Of course, we have also come up with a small innovation: SPARK 2025 - an ideas competition within the Digital Culture Week. We are not only looking for startups or those who want to become one, but also ideas from companies. The whole thing will be embedded in a start-up program that is being set up by our economic development agency.

We do not want to create an independent ideas competition, but rather think of the topic in a networked manner and as a feed-in for the Hessian Founder's Prize and the North Hesse Founder's Prize.

For Digital Culture Week:

This year our Digital Culture Week (July 2nd and 3rd) will take place again in Korbach and we are pleased to welcome over 15 speakers with their expertise.

2nd step in the North Hesse region

Applications with a complete business plan can be submitted directly after registration until June 20, 2024:

Want to start your own business?

This is where your business plan is created!

Our business plan tool offers you extensive collaboration functions for your participation in the business plan competition . Team members can work together on their business plan. It is also possible to invite a coach from our network. If you have your own coach, he or she can also be involved very easily.

The tool allows you to keep track of your work steps using version management. After the first registration, you can use the tool for a period of five years, or for two years without submission.
