START-UPS MAKE SOCIETY
The Public Value Award for Start-ups recognizes public value-oriented start-ups that create a benefit for society with their offers and services and thus make a measurable contribution to the common good.
We want to encourage young entrepreneurs to actively shape social values and develop their individual public value profile. How does your business model, product or service contribute to the common good? How does your start-up shape society?

Wir werden 10!
Mit der 10. Ausgabe des Public Value Award for Start-ups blicken wir 2026 zurück – und zugleich nach vorn. Zum Jubiläum gehen wir neue Wege: In diesem Jahr gibt es keinen klassischen Bewerbungsaufruf. Stattdessen küren wir aus unseren bisherigen Finalist*innen die Gemeinwohlunternehmen des Jahrzehnts. Wir zeigen, wie sich Gemeinwohlorientierung strategisch entfaltet und unternehmerisches Handeln nachhaltig prägt. Jetzt ist der Moment, diese Geschichten sichtbar zu machen. Freut euch auf das große Finale und feiert mit uns am 5.11.2026 in Leipzig.
Online voting: Take part and win one of three ZEISS binoculars*.
Seven start-ups are in the final.
