Female founders will then pitch their business ideas followed by start-ups' pitches and a discussion round featuring business representatives  and female founders.

Review and outlook 

Two Hamburg-based women were among the runners-up in this year's Female StartAperitivo competition. 5pectre Optix won over the audience with the “world’s "smallest broadband spectrometer" while Tœrn had pitched a sustainable logistics solutions. The start-ups were among eight female finalists from north Germany in the scheme, launched by the City of Hamburg. The event is to become a national competition in 2023 and the finals will be staged in Hamburg. The Female StartAperitivo Academy held workshops and master classes all over Hamburg in autumn.
