Why the START Summit is worth it<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As one of the largest student-organised startup events in Europe, the START Summit x Hack<\/a> offers a unique platform for young companies, investors and innovators. In addition to top-class keynotes, a huge startup exhibition and workshops, there were numerous opportunities to network with the international startup scene.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strong startup presence<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

The summit was a valuable opportunity for our startups to present their ideas, make new contacts and get feedback \u2013 and even close a few deals on the spot.<\/p>\n

Four KIT startups, Prefiro<\/a>, ONINO<\/a>, CAVIGEN<\/a> and ICODOS<\/a>, had the chance to present their innovations at their own booth in the exhibition. International visibility, new contacts \u2013 and initial talks about possible collaborations and investments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over 30 hackers from the KIT<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around 30 hackers from the KIT demonstrated their skills at the hackathon. From creative software solutions to innovative business models. And all in 36 hours of work \u2013 great work!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Networking across borders<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Together with a delegation from the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg ecosystem, we exchanged ideas with other startup centres, investors and partners. The summit was an ideal opportunity to provide new impetus for startup funding in our ecosystem and beyond. We are definitely bringing some new contacts, ideas and partnerships back to Karlsruhe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
