All participants who accept the Two-Degree Challenge in the week from November 6 to 10 will develop their ideas into a business model with the help of coaches. Interested parties can register online. A new feature is that successors with green business ideas can also take part.    

From November 6 to 10, participants and coaches will meet online daily from 5 pm. There will be a keynote speech to kick things off, followed by work sessions. During the competition week and beyond, experienced coaches and founders will provide support in developing the projects and business models. In preparation, there will be an in-person seminar on Thursday, November 2, for team building and topic identification.

At the end of the competition week, the pitches will be presented to a jury. For the first time, the organizers - the Association of German Engineers (VDI) in North Hesse, the Kassel-Marburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), the University and Science Park, Kasseler Sparkasse, the Kassel Region Economic Development Corporation and other regional companies - are offering 3,000 euros as the first prize for the student teams. They also provide support for possible follow-up funding of up to 120,000 euros, for example from the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt. In addition further prices entice such as Coachings and investor discussions.
