Demo Day
01.09.2021
‘Food, Tech & Sharing’ @Talent Garden Austria
We’re gave startups who took part in Modul University Vienna’s #FAB & #TraveLab Accelerator Programs the opportunity to present their ventures to the Vienna startup community during this hybrid event! This year’s Demo Day was an immersive forum for startups driving technological innovation in the food & beverage industry, hospitality & tourism and the sharing economy.
The event included a selective pitching competition, so the audience could understand more about the role of innovation in these fields, with real entrepreneurial examples. Following the pitching competition, all participating startups were able to network with the general public during a startup showcase session at the Talent Garden campus.
The icing on the cake, we welcomed keynote speakers Tulipans and Rebel Meat, who are ‘graduates’ of the program and amazing changemakers in their fields. They provided specific insights about food-tech, the sharing economy and innovation in Austria.
