Did your journey to economic independence begin in Anhalt-Bitterfeld? Or do you want to help business start-ups gain social recognition?
EWG organises the competition for the best business start-ups in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld rural district in alternation with the Reiner-Lemoine Innovation Award. Various institutions support us energetically in this regard by:
- providing prize money,
- collaborating within the context of the independent selection committee and
- establishing partnerships and sponsoring arrangements.
- Entrepreneurs who have successfully begun their journey towards professional independence are rewarded and presented to the public.
Particularly successful founding operations that were carried out in the area of the current rural district were honoured for the first time in the year 2005. Since 2011, the competition has borne the name of founder and innovator Reiner Lemoine (1949-2006). During his lifetime, this successful innovator and businessman founded the Reiner Lemoine Foundation in order to strengthen projects involving renewable energies. As the name giver for the competitions, it collaborates with EWG in the spirit of partnership. Along with the prize money, the joint prize given by the district administrator of Anhalt-Bitterfeld and the Reiner Lemoine Foundation was honoured with the ‘Summiteer Statuette’ for the first time in the year 2011. Designed by artist Natalie Tekampe, this statuette has been awarded in every competition since then. Other special prizes given out by various competition supporters are endowed with prize money lying in the range of 1000 EUR to 2000 EUR.
In the next round of the competition, we will be inviting the participation - for the ninth time - of all those who fulfil the application requirements. We look forward to receiving numerous, interesting and promising applications from Anhalt-Bitterfeld containing their own special success stories. An independent selection committee will then choose the winners.
