Bavaria’s Minister of Economics Hubert Aiwanger comments:
“Our competition has established itself in the Bavarian startup scene. I am convinced: every euro of prize money is invested wisely in these startups. They are developing the business models of the future. The over 100 applicants have proven that with their topics such as cloud and AI software, IoT concepts, and cybersecurity, they are keeping pace with the times.”
