Do you have an idea for an innovative product, a technical solution, a charitable project or a service? Perhaps you want to secure this idea, commercialise it or even turn it into a business start-up? Apply to

inspired. The ideas competition. In MV!

All Neubrandenburg residents are now invited to submit their ideas. There are great cash and non-cash prizes up for grabs: Prizes can be won for the first and second place winners, as well as the special prize for social ideas. You can take part in the categories "Students and trainees" and "Researchers, graduates and external participants".

Taking part in the ideas competition is also worthwhile beyond the prizes! The individual experience of creating the competition concepts prepares you for the utilisation of your ideas. Your submitted concepts can be used as the basis for an application for an EXIST start-up grant, EXIST research transfer or even for the state start-up grant. We also offer attractive events, seminars and workshops (such as the Berlin Valley Tour or the intensive workshop "RockIt-Week") as part of the competition.

It doesn't take much effort: to begin with, all you need to do is name your idea in one sentence. In the second step, the idea is then formulated as a competition-ready concept based on a Word template (approx. 5 pages). We will be happy to give you regular feedback. You can find the registration form and information on the conditions of participation, prizes and deadlines on the following pages.

It goes without saying that all competition entries for this EU-funded project will be treated confidentially.

You can also find the latest information on Instagram. We look forward to exciting projects and innovative ideas!

We are delighted to have won two places in the state-wide Ideas Competition 2024 in Rostock!

The winners from the competitions in Rostock, Greifswald, Stralsund, Wismar and Neubrandenburg will present their ideas to a high-ranking jury of experienced entrepreneurs, professors and political representatives. The state-wide winners were selected by an independent jury on 18 July 2024 in the main building of the University of Rostock. The subsequent award ceremony took place in the auditorium of the main building.

Once again this year, the most original business ideas and pioneering research results from the state's universities and colleges were honoured. The aim of the competition, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Economics, Labour and Health of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is to identify innovative technologies and ideas at universities and research institutions and to support them not only with financial resources, but also with valuable contacts, intensive coaching and important experience.

We would like to congratulate all the winners of the competition and would like to highlight the winners from our university:

"Inspired - the ideas competition. In MV." - Presentation of tablets by the company data experts GmbH

In this year's ideas competition, first place in the "Students" category and second place in the "Researchers & Graduates" category were honoured with non-cash prizes. These were two Apple iPads of the 9th generation. Both prizes were donated by the company data experts GmbH and presented by Mr Stefan Jaster (Managing Director of data experts GmbH) in the presence of our Vice-Rector for Research, Knowledge Transfer and International Relations, Prof Dr Leif-Alexander Garbe.

This year's winners of the tablets were the team consisting of Till Knauke, Malte Stein and Bernhard Zaum with their idea "Dressing Room" (1st place students) and Rhea Catherine Saldanha with her idea "Bhoomi - 'from life, lives another'" (2nd place researchers & graduates). We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them once again!

Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences is planning to organise the ideas competition again next year. Information on this can be found on our website: http://www.hs-nb.de/ideenwettbewerb

The aim of the "inspired" ideas competition is to identify innovative technologies and ideas from the state and to support them not only with financial resources, but also with valuable contacts, intensive coaching and important experience. In the summer, the most original business ideas and pioneering research results from our university were presented as part of the ideas competition. The participants in the internal university competition presented their ideas to a jury of entrepreneurs and academics. The first and second place winners from the "Students" and "Researchers & Graduates" categories then competed in the state-wide ideas competition in Rostock.

There was also a special prize for social ideas to be won for the second time. The proposal for a special prize for social ideas arose from the fact that every year, ideas are submitted by students and researchers that are very good, relevant and innovative, but have little chance in the nationwide competition, where profitability rather than charitable status is assessed. The introduction of the special prize is intended to honour and highlight these ideas in particular.

In addition to the non-cash prizes, cash prizes were awarded to the 1st place researchers and graduates and the 2nd place students. A cash prize was also awarded this year for the special prize for social ideas. The winners of the 2022 ideas competition are

"Inspired -The ideas competition. In MV." The winners 2022 have been announced

This year's winners of the 2022 ideas competition were announced in Rostock. The finalists, whose ideas won at their colleges and universities, gathered at the University of Rostock to compete against each other.

Turning your own original business idea into reality requires courage as well as financial resources, good contacts and helpful expert coaching. So even without prize money, the participants did not go away empty-handed and were able to expand their network and take home feedback for their ideas. There were also attractive cash prizes for the ideas that impressed the jury the most: The top three winners from each category will receive further training vouchers worth up to 15,000 euros. They also have the opportunity to take part in the "Berlin Valley Tour", where they have the chance to get to know Berlin's start-up scene and take advantage of intensive coaching programmes. One winner from Neubrandenburg was also able to convince the state-wide jury of his idea this year!

Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences was represented by a total of four participants who had previously presented their ideas to our jury. From numerous submissions, they were honoured with internal university prizes in the categories "Researchers and Graduates" and "Students", as well as for the special prize "Social Ideas".

Once again this year, numerous ideas in the categories "Students" and "Researchers/Graduates" were submitted to a jury consisting of experts from the city. In addition, a special prize for social ideas was introduced for the first time.

With the introduction of the special prize, these ideas are to be particularly honoured and also brought to the fore. The winners of the HS internal ideas competition and the prizes awarded are as follows:
