HPI Business Plan Competition

Since 2010 the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) has held an annual Business Plan Competition for founders of new companies and startups from the Institute environment. Over three phases, participants receive intensive feedback to further the development of their business idea.

At the end of the competition, the best teams get the opportunity to present their business concept to a jury of experts. The jury, made up of representatives from HPI, Hasso Plattner Ventures, and external partners awards prizes of up to € 100,000.
