The Nordic Startup Challenge once again brings international startups to Hamburg
The first Nordic Startup Challenge took place in September 2023 at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce on the topics of logistics and mobility. The second edition will follow on March 25, 2025, this time with a focus on the circular economy and new materials. Ten startups from ten countries will present themselves at the event.
The Nordic Startup Challenge is a pitch and networking event
Valuable prizes await the winning startup, among others provided by event partner Plug and Play, an American venture capital company. The main aim of the event is to connect international startups with companies and innovation drivers from the Hamburg metropolitan region. In addition to the pitches, the programme includes a keynote speech by Victor Büchner, Business Development Manager of Impact Hub Hamburg, entitled “Circular Visions - Infinite Innovation with Finite Resources” on the opportunities of the cradle-to-cradle principle for the economy. The evening's winning team will be selected by a ten-member jury of experts. After the award ceremony, there will be an opportunity for a get-together with startups, investors and companies.
