High-flyer competition

The aim is to offer start-ups a stage and open up new networks with important contacts both in Schleswig-Holstein and in San Francisco. The three winners of the competition will fly to the start-up mecca of Silicon Valley for a week and benefit from the local mindset, big-picture thinking and our local network.
