StartMiUp Capital Contest 2022 Hybrid Event | StartMiUp | 27 April 2022 | Auditorium of the Justus Liebig University Giessen, Ludwigstraße 23, 35390 Gießen, Germany

Once again, founding teams from the Justus Liebig University in Gießen, the Philipps University in Marburg and the Technical University of Central Hesse come together and pitch their innovative and exciting ideas to a regional jury of investors. At the last Capital Contest, a total of five founding teams, including from the areas of care, machine learning, and sustainably produced meat, were not only able to win possible start-up financing in the form of so-called Intents of Invest but also expert knowledge and reach in the region.

We are very pleased to be able to host the Capital Contest this year in the auditorium of the main university building of Justus Liebig University Gießen (Ludwigstraße 23, 35390 Gießen). There will also be a live stream. We will keep you up to date with news and further information about the event in the coming months.
