UniVation: European Young Innovators Festival

Part 1: Nov 30 - Dec 21, 2022

Students from 2 universities in Graz join the pitching sessions of the European Young Innovators and work together with the winners on the improvement of their ventures. The European Young Innovators all have their passion for a better tomorrow in common, presented in form of outstanding digital solutions, tackling the current crises and creating new possibilities. Topics ranged from a platform for Ukrainian migrants, a digital memorial, and the increase of parliamentary transparency over fighting the climate crisis by reducing microplastics or provide zero waste oat milk to new ways to increase inclusion.

12 student teams, 6 from FH Campus 02 and 6 from FH Joanneum, work for 3 weeks on improvements for 9 ventures from 8 countries.

On December 21, 4-8pm, the students present their work in form of 12 pitches in front of an international jury - and of course their venture hosts. 3 teams will be announced winners of the WSA UniVation program directly after the pitches.

The pitching session is an open event, moderated by - the one & only - Connor Sattely.
