For the fourth time, five creative teams or participants will face a jury of experts and industry specialists as well as the public in the final of the Drink Innovation Challenge 2025. These teams will be selected by the expert jury from a field of applicants that will be determined on 28 May, when the application window closes.

On 25 June, the selected finalists will pitch for a total of EUR 4,500 in cash prizes and a prototype production at Geisenheim University’s brand new, state-of-the-art Beverage Technology Centre.

There will be a get-together in the foyer of the new lecture theatre building at 6 pm, with the pitches starting at 7 pm in HÖR South.

The final is open to everyone. Please register using the form below so that we can better plan the snacks and drinks. After the final, we would like to invite all finalists, sponsors and guests to join us at the ‘Alter Fass’ next to the lecture theatre building for a beer or wine to round off the evening and celebrate the final teams.

A warm welcome!
