Last week, the fifth edition of the Green Light Startup Show accelerator took place, organized by the Centre for Innovation Support at VŠB-TUO. Startups present their projects here to get exposure and try to win one of the main prizes. This brings together entrepreneurs, investors, students and anyone interested in innovation and entrepreneurship under one roof. Of course, Railsformers representatives could not be absent.
Eight startups, the winners and the prizes awarded
There were a total of eight companies (Joystree, Eddie, Domiro, Bellecup, Waps invoice, Quine engine, Dustee, El stylo) who presented their ideas and listened to feedback from the expert jury. In the auditorium of the VŠB Auditorium, where the event was held, interesting improvement proposals from the sectors of travel, sports, medicine, environment, accounting and visualization were presented.
