In 2026, the SCE and Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences (HM) will once again present the prestigious Strascheg Ideas Award. The competition recognizes innovative business ideas in three categories:
We are looking for:
- The best business idea from one’s student years (Category 1)
- The best business idea from research and practice (Category 2)
- The best business idea with initial market proof (Category 3)
For Categories 1 and 2, students, professors, staff, and alumni of Hochschule München can apply with their ideas, projects, and academic work that are driven by entrepreneurial motivation. The third category is also open to external teams with initial market proof.
All participants will receive a personal consultation and expert feedback on their idea. Additionally, there is a chance to receive funding through the SCE Incubation program, which includes intensive coaching, exclusive workshops, a prototyping budget, and a workspace in the incubator.
Save the Date: The Strascheg Ideas Award ceremony, accompanied by a startup fair, will take place on November 17, 2026.
