Application

Why should I apply for a THE MISSION program?

You will get intensive support from industry leaders and personal, as well as idea coachings. And the best part: For participating in THE MISSION your team even receives 10,000 €. So, if you are already a start-up founder or are planning to become one, THE MISSION is the right program for you.
Who can apply?
Anyone with an innovative idea can apply - from solo entrepreneurs to early-stage start-ups.
If you are applying with a startup you should consider the following criteria: Your idea should not be older than four years. Have you already founded a corporation? Then it should not be older than three years. In general the accelerator is open to all innovative startups with the capacity to develop a new solution or repurpose their existing solution.

Do I need an idea to apply?
You can apply with or without an idea. If you do not have an idea on your own or with your team, we will match you with other participants who are still looking for co-founders.
Does my startup need to be linked to the construction/waste/food industry?
No, it is basically possible that your solution, if it fits, could become an enhancement of the respective industry. However, a knowledge or previous experience with the respective industry is highly recommended.
