Who will reach for the stars? STAR*PARADE final on 5 November 2026

The Lusatian start-up scene takes centre stage

Over the past few weeks, the teams have presented their start-up ideas to the expert judging panels. On 5 November, at the grand final of STAR*PARADE 2026, we’ll find out who has won in the eight categories.

There’s a wide range of projects on offer, from technology and digital solutions to health, creative and social initiatives. As in previous years, numerous teams featuring students from the BTU are taking part. Come and see what ideas they’ve developed, and join in the excitement!

A final for everyone

The final is open to anyone interested. You don’t need to have taken part in the competition yourself to attend. Come along with friends or colleagues and get to know the region’s start-up scene.

As well as the awards ceremony, an evening programme with a special atmosphere awaits you. You might even find yourself inspired to enter next year with an idea of your own.

Strike up a conversation and make contacts

Afterwards, there’ll be time for networking: get to know the teams in person, discuss their projects and make new contacts.
