This workshop prepares prospective EXIST teams for the finalisation of their application. The focus is on a clear and compelling presentation of the problem, solution, market, and business model, enabling reviewers to quickly assess the project’s viability. After a short introduction, you will present your current status quo. Several startup experts will join as guests and provide valuable, hands-on feedback. This helps close gaps in the argumentation and sharpen key assumptions. The goal is a coherent overall narrative that convincingly integrates all parts of the application.
