INTER.NATIONAL! Startup contest

The Inter.national! Startup Contest is a pitch competition that consists of five regional contests all around the world: Europe Contest 1, Europe Contest 2, Africa & Mena Contest, North & South America Constest and Asia Constest. 

The contests are organized by the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK).

In the contests, the selected international startups compete against each other in front of a professional jury.
