About the event
Every year, the Youth Start European Entrepreneurship Award brings together young people from all over the world. In three categories, they present their ideas for a better future and compete for the title of European champion.
After Kitzbühel in Austria, the Youth Start European Entrepreneurship Award is coming to Berlin from 12 - 15 October 2024. For four days, we celebrate the creativity and innovative capacity of youth - with 150 young people from 10 European countries.
The Awards
The Youth Start European Entrepreneurship Award will be awarded in three categories:
The category Idea Challenge includes ideas which are at the beginning of implementation and focus primarily on finding an innovative solution to a (social) problem.
The category Real Market Challenge includes mature ideas which have already taken the first steps towards implementation and are thus at a higher stage of development.
The category We Grow Together includes ideas which aim at creating a positive change in the world and contribute to one (or more) SDGs in various ways. In this category, there is a focus on a cooperative implementations of the idea.
Additionally, the EUROPEAN CLIMATE IMPACT AWARD is presented to the concept that makes the greatest contribution to the sustainable development of our society. Possible topics from which the ideas can originate are climate protection, clean energy, sustainable consumption, mobility and health. The jury will select the best ideas for the EUROPEAN CLIMATE IMPACT AWARD from all the concepts submitted.
