A clear and well-defined business model remains particularly important. Competition Director <strong>Max Akhmedschin<\/strong> explained: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cPhase 1 isn\u2019t about perfect companies. What\u2019s crucial is that teams have a thorough understanding of their problem, their target group, and their solution. All the award-winning startups demonstrate precisely this clarity. Developing a business plan is a key step for startups that want to launch quickly and sustainably in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ten startups impress in Phase 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several winning teams are developing solutions for medicine and biotechnology. <strong>Dehaze<\/strong> creates AI-based digital twins that analyze medical data and are designed to detect individual health risks early. <strong>Exosphere<\/strong> develops a compact diagnostic system that detects cancer markers in the blood at a particularly early stage.
