Two Startups Battle for Glory in Start-up BW Elevator Pitch Finals

The Start-up BW Elevator Pitch 2025/26 has reached its state finals, with two innovative companies set to compete. WebMeister360 and Dion+ will present their business ideas to a jury and audience in just a few minutes. The competition, organised by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, and Tourism, has been running since 2013 as part of the Start-up BW campaign.

WebMeister360 secured its place in the finals by winning the MOVE YOUR IDEA Regional Cup in Reutlingen. The company’s business model aims to cut food waste in industrial kitchens. Meanwhile, Dion+ earned its spot through the AXEL Demo Day, though its founding date remains unclear.

The two finalists will now prepare for their pitch in front of a live audience. The winner will gain recognition and support from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, and Tourism. The competition continues to highlight fresh business talent from across the region each year.
