Young Entrepreneur Summit 2023: workshop, jury and a winner from Uganda
At the Young Entrepreneur Summit (YES) 2023 at Constructor University in Bremen, Dr. Björn Bronger served as a jury member and workshop host – part of the event’s “Trifold Approach”, alongside Olivia Falkenstein, Michael Potts, Sonja Mattfeld and Fabio Mathias.
Out of 130 start-ups, ten finalists made it to the final round, travelling from around the world – from Canada to New Zealand.
The winners
- KangaCare – first place, presented by Kibande Steven (Uganda)
- OviCampus – second place
- PragmaClin Research Inc. – third place, represented by CEO Bronwyn Bridges
The other finalists
- Alexandra Axt – Melodizr
- Belenis Bogdan – AIROOT
- Robert Kunzmann – AC Biode
- Sarang Sonar – Modosto
- What the Health
- TCR App
- U&Earth
The quality of the ideas and pitches made the jury’s decision a genuinely difficult one. Alongside the judging, the workshop was a focal point, giving participants the opportunity to develop their pitching skills further.
Thanks to Thea Mischel and Oscar Kirkwood, the main organisers of YES 2023, and their entire team.
