A Start-up Live Weekend is a weekend for creative minds, founders or those simply interested in novel ideas. With the support of experienced mentors business plans will be developed, pitched and refined. The teams presenting their projects to a top-class jury consisting of entrepreneurs and investors marks the end and culmination of the event.
A special feature of this event is the fact that one may actively participate without actually having an own business idea! Simply join a team, provide support, gain experience and get to know what being a start-up is all about.
To quote SUL Managing Partner Tanja Sternbauer: “To transmit within the limits of a single weekend the basics of a company start-up and to animate participants to realize their idea is what we’re looking to do.”
The experts of the Patent Office will be on site at the Start-up Live Weekends, because handling intellectual property professionally is indispensable when trying to do business successfully and staying competitive with an innovation. Therefore it’s always a sound idea to first and foremost go to the Patent Office and only then to go public!
