The Junge Industrie and WhatAVenture invite innovative hardware and software startups in the B2B sector to present their company to top level executives of the largest Austrian industrial enterprises. This year we have a special focus on Greentech!

13 startups will be selected and will compete in the 100 year old Paternoster located in the historic ´House of Industry´ in Vienna. The startups will each have the possibility to pitch their business idea to the jury while riding in a cabin of the Paternoster.

The aim of the event is to link startups with leading industrial companies in Austria. Therefore each startup will also be assigned an own booth next to the pitch in the paternoster. This allows them to present their prototype and/or product to a wide audience of industrial enterprises and innovation manager.

The challenge

Each startup will be assigned a cabin in the historic Paternoster. One after the other a jury member will join the startup. The pitcher will have approximately 4 minutes to present their business and discuss the matter with the member of the jury.

The startup that can convince the most members of the jury from their idea will win the challenge! This year the jury may choose a winner by utilizing the app Pitchscoring©. Here the jury rates the startups presenting at their booths by voting on their team, market, scalability, business model and technology.
