Introducing the finalists for #IP23!

Six startups pitch at hub.berlin on 28 June | 10,000 euros in prize money is at stake in the categories Artificial Intelligence and EdTech

How can digital technologies enrich teaching in schools? Will teachers be able to use apps and notebooks instead of photocopies and textbooks in the future? And how can AI make the factory just as intelligent as the doctor's office? The answers to these questions will be found at the 15th Innovators' Pitch, for which the jury has now nominated the six finalists. They will pitch their ideas in the two categories Artificial Intelligence and EdTech at the hub.berlin business festival on 28 June 2023 at Station Berlin. "Digital education and artificial intelligence are two crucial topics for the future. With the Innovators' Pitch this year, we want to help startups gain more visibility who are setting global standards with their solutions in these areas," says Daniel Breitinger, Head of Startups at the digital association Bitkom. "This is what the big stage at hub.berlin is for - and it's the ideal place to bring startups together with established medium-sized, larger and internationally active companies."
