In this year's high-flyer competition, start-ups from Schleswig-Holstein are once again pitching for one of three tickets for a trip to Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

To this end, the jury and start-ups will meet for the first time at the Überflieger Business Lounge. After short pitches from the applicant teams, the main focus is on networking and initial discussions about the ideas and business models presented. The Business Lounge is therefore a building block for deciding which six teams will compete in the final in September.

We are delighted that members of all four organizers of StartUp SH, the Marketingclub SH, the Ministry of Economic Affairs SH and The Bay Areas will once again be taking part in the Überflieger Business Lounge. This year, we are also invited to join the KiTZ summer party after the pitches, which will also take place on July 11. Together with young and established companies that have their offices in the technology center, we will round off the evening.
