The winners of the 2024 ideas competition

04.11.2024 Emma Schmitt Events
A sleep mask for neurodivergent people, a motor with gills and a sparkling water maker to go. This year's ideas competition once again saw numerous innovative ideas. We were spoilt for choice and had to choose the best ideas. The award ceremony took place on 2 November at TRIANGEL.

We congratulate our winners of the 2024 ideas competition. The first five places were also awarded cash prizes.

These are the top 10 placings:

place 1: Oscar Streif – GoFizz: the portable water bubbler

place 3: Jacob Piazolo, Jonas Müller und Linus Grimminger – Interstitial AI: AI tool to visualise architectural projects

place 8: Sören Siebert – Gill Motor: production of environmentally friendly container ships
place 9: Robin Helbig – FriendlyBell: Bicycle bell with different tones: friendly vs. classic
place 10: Paul Karl Wolfgang Münch – KI4U: AI answers students’ questions

The evening was a great success. Hosted by Daniela Musial-Lemberg, the rankings were announced one by one and the videos of the best ideas were shown again. If you missed the event, you can also find the videos of our top 10 further down in this blog post. After our award ceremony, the kick-off from GROW of the Pioniergarage also startet.
