Digital start-up pitch
Challenging times demand creative solutions. The start-up pitches were originally planned to take place as a part of the IT-TRANS 2020. Due to Covid-19 the IT-TRANS was postponed and will now take place on 1-3 December 2020. However the initiators of the award have decided to move up the start-up pitch, in order to support the finalists of the award and shine some well deserved spotlight. Therefore the finalists held their pitches in form of a video. Each start-up created a unique video with a short introduction of themselves and a description of what their project is about.
Digital award ceremony
The award ceremony will likewise be held as on the web. Stay tuned to find out, which project will make the run and be honored as a “Future Mobility” awardee.
