Seven Ideas, Nine Months, One Goal: vor.GRÜNDEN-26 Gets Underway
From an automated pill splitter to software for measurement and control devices: seven innovative startup projects are embarking on the new round of the vor.GRÜNDEN-26 funding programme in October. At CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, the teams are now preparing for nine months of intensive development work.
At the end of September, the participants of vor.GRÜNDEN-26 met for the first time at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences | Hochschule Kärnten. During the information event, they presented their projects, exchanged ideas and gained an overview of the months ahead.
Petra Hössl and Sabine Trattler from CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences presented the programme framework and introduced tools designed to support the teams in further developing their startup projects.
Seven Projects, Different Approaches
This year’s projects cover a broad range of fields, from healthcare and mobility to software and technology:
- Automated Pill Splitter: Development of an automated system for splitting tablets
