Every year, in “Inspired – The Ideas Competition. In MV” the latest startup ideas are presented by researchers and graduates as well as students, evaluated by a jury and awarded prizes. Theta Concepts convinces and takes first place in the category “Researchers and Graduates”, both in the competition in the Rostock region and statewide. We are very pleased…

At the beginning of every startup, there is first an idea that matures for some time before moving into planning and then implementation.
The ideas competition helps young founders on their way to their own venture. Graduates and students go through a multi-stage process that forces them to intensively deal with the founding plan. This happens initially through a submitted project outline and a subsequent pitch in front of the jury.
The participants receive feedback and a direct assessment of their own business idea from experienced actors – very valuable. In addition, the competition offers valuable contacts and reach.
Although we already bring a lot to the table through our many years of experience in research, contract research and consulting, participating in the competition was very educational and helpful for us. Clearly formulating and representing one’s idea for outsiders helps with one’s own positioning and the definition of one’s own business model.
We thank you for the great organization of the competition, of course for the prizes won and the successful evening events. We are pleased about the contacts acquired and the steadily growing network.
