Since 2008 the ERCIS annually organizes the so-called ERCIS Launch Pad. This contest is a plattform for founder and start-ups with interesting ideas for IT products or services.  Students or other interested participants can present their ideas, prototypes, or ready-to-go products and discuss with other founders, win a prize, and get in contact with investors.

More Information on the contest can be found at http://www.ercis-launchpad.de/.
