From process automation to modern warehouse management and material flow technology – innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are accelerating the digitalization of logistics. In the education sector, interactive, AI-supported applications can enrich teaching, promote inspiration, engagement, and motivation, and simultaneously strengthen digital skills. Startups in particular are bringing new ideas and the necessary impetus to this. The best of them can apply for the 17th Innovators' Pitch in the two categories "Edtech" and "Smart Logistics."
Early-stage startups can submit their ideas, prototypes, and products until February 23. The finalists will pitch on March 19 to a panel of experts and the audience at Bitkom's Transform lead event, which focuses on the digital transformation of companies. The prizes in each category include €5,000 in prize money and a free Get Started membership. The startup initiative of the Bitkom Get Started organizes the Innovators' Pitch with the support of the Vodafone Foundation and the Kion Group.
Daniel Breitinger, Head of Startups & Scaleups at the digital association Bitkom, explains:
"With the Innovators' Pitch this year, we want to focus on digital transformation in intralogistics and the school system. Transform connects decision-makers with digital experts and brings together startups, medium-sized businesses, and international companies. Together, Innovators' Pitch and Transform are the ideal platform to give these startups greater visibility."
The application form and all details about the Innovators Pitch are available on the associated website.
