Innovative ideas are to conquer the world from Schleswig-Holstein. Thanks to the partnership between the cities and regions of Kiel and San Francisco, Schleswig-Holstein has gained enormous potential.

Schleswig-Holstein should become a start-up state. To support this, we have joined forces with the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Labor, Technology and Tourism, the Schleswig-Holstein Marketing Club and the Startup SH a nationwide competition in 2018 OVERFLYER for young innovative start-ups from Schleswig-Holstein, which will take place again in 2019.

The common goal is for more people in Schleswig-Holstein to found successful growth companies. For the winners, this means taking part in a trip to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. In addition, they benefit from the competition through extensive networking with representatives from business, science and politics.

Innovative start-ups that are no more than three years old and based in Schleswig-Holstein can take part. The application phase has started. Information on how to apply can be found at https://www.startupsh.de/wettbewerb. Six finalists will be selected from all submissions to compete in the final of the OVERFLYER contest in 2019.
