"SEGEL SETZEN!" is the annual business plan competition of the NORD°OST° science region, organised by our cross-university start-up agency Stapellauf NORD°OST°. Students, doctoral candidates, researchers or employees of universities and non-university research institutions in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are invited to submit their ideas or business concepts. We award prizes of EUR 10,000 for 1st place, EUR 5,000 for 2nd place and EUR 2,000 for 3rd place. The submitted business plans are reviewed and evaluated by experienced practitioners. All participants benefit from the feedback and contacts with network partners right from the start. We offer a comprehensive preparation and support programme for SEGEL SETZEN!
