• The Industry: The focus is on the sector of "Circular Economy & New Materials."
• The Program: In addition to a pitch competition with an award ceremony, the program includes a tour of relevant stakeholders in Hamburg, meetings with potential strategic partners, and a cultural program. The program is free of charge for the participants.
• The Date: March 24-26, 2025
• The Startups: The selected startups or scale-ups must be no older than seven years, must already have proven products or a functioning prototype, and must have some initial reference customers.
