It was a privilege to be amidst the vibrant atmosphere at the A1 Telekom Austria AG A1 Startup Award 2023. Our booth was buzzing with meaningful conversations and ideas getting exchanged.

The event’s highlights included Siemens AG Austria CEO Patricia Neumann‘s inspiring talk on purposeful investment and A1 Telekom Austria AG CCO Martin Resel‘s perspective on the contrasting fail-fast cultures across continents, urging us to ‘fail to win’ – a valuable lesson to all of us.

The pitch session showcased eight ingenious startups, with the professional jury honoring one innovative solution, Totoy , specializing on AI document translation and simplification. Congratulations to the winning team and also to the other participating and awesome startups nista.io, Lalamu Entertainment GmbH , AUGMENTERRA, Brickwise, CyberDanube, Oscar Stories and VIPASO – Vienna Payment Solutions.

As the evening progressed, the networking session brought together bright minds, stories, drinks and palates. A heartfelt thank you to the A1 Startup Campus, particularly Claudia Panozzo, for nurturing such a fertile ground for innovation and collaboration.
