The latest ideas that can be implemented using optics and photonics will be presented at the third Elevator Pitch on January 28. The event is organized by the "Digital Innovation Hub Photonics" (DIHP), an initiative to promote start-ups in the photonics industry. This year, students as well as young researchers, post-docs, start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises can once again present innovative projects and research plans.
Applicants have five minutes to convince the jury of their merits. The winning projects will each receive significant support, including assistance in developing their idea into a viable business model or their own company. The winning teams have five months to implement their projects.
This year, the Elevator Pitch will be implemented as a purely digital format. Sebastian Händschke (sebastian.haendschke@iof.fraunhofer.de) is looking forward to receiving applications by e-mail until January 21.
The Digital Pitch 2021 is sponsored by the Thüringer Aufbaubank.
