Info
We are happy to announce that the UNIQUE competition for business ideas will take place again this year and you are invited send your idea sketches by June 3rd, 2024 to unique@witeno.de!
To further inform you on the competition and answer all your questions beforehand, we invite you to an online information event on the 21st of March at 12PM!
Who is this webinar for? Thank you for asking. Employees of the regional research institutes as well as the University are invited to take part, since UNIQUE promotes knowledge transfer and brings innovation from science to business. Especially if you already have an idea and are wondering whether it makes sense to take part and how the competition works.
We are looking forward to welcoming Dr. Jörn Winter from Nebula Biocides, an INP spin off that is based in Greifswald and took part in the competition in 2017 with their idea to bring a revolutionary disinfection process onto the market. They rely on the highly effective disinfection with Sporosan®, a 2-component system that can be used both for surface disinfection and the reprocessing of medical devices. Now they will share their experiences and how UNIQUE helped them to found their company. Participants in the competition can look forward to bonuses and special prizes totaling €20,000, access to the MV-wide competition inspired, individual coaching, industry expertise and network access. In addition, submitted concepts can serve as a basis for research funding applications or business plans ready for the acquisition of investors.

What is the UNIQUE competition for business ideas?
UNIQUE in Greifswald was first held in 2006. It is part of the MV-wide project “inspired – Der Ideenwettbewerb. In MV.”, which is financed on behalf of the Ministry of Economy, Labor and Health with funds from the European Social Fund (ESF). Participants are supported during their journey from idea generation to business model development. In recent years, more than 130 teams of researchers and students have developed start-up concepts, from which more than 35 companies in various areas have now been founded. Since 2020, UNIQUE has been run by WITENO GmbH in close cooperation with the University of Greifswald and together with the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) Greifswald, the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Greifswald branch, and the Friedrich Loeffler Institut - Federal Research Institute for Animal Health, Riems.
