Startup Port founders honoured
The team from mo:re impressed the jury with its vision of being able to produce customised medicines in the future without the need for animal testing. According to mo:re founder Lukas Gaats, this canbe achieved by using artificial mini-organs, 400 of which can be grown on a simple plate with the aid of robots. The method should obviate the need for expensive, time-consuming animal testing in the pharmaceutical industrywhile delivering higher quality test results. The next big development step for the mo:re team is to build up production capacity in Hamburg. “The potential is not only enormous economically, but also socially,”said Katharina Froh in her laudation at the awards ceremony.The startup received the first prize of €10,000 and eleven hours of counselling for its ground-breaking idea.
Early support the key to success
Our team at Hamburg Innovation and everyone involved in the Startup Port project are delighted that several of the start-ups successful in the GründerGeist competition are from their ranks. It was not only the winning team of mo:re that received support and advice, but also several other start-ups in the finals: Recylabs and CarbonStack from Universität Hamburg and KONVOI from TUHH. Third place, worth €2,500 and eight hours of counselling, went to Recyclabs from Universität Hamburg. Recyclabs has developed a process for recycling PET that can be used for bottles or clothing. Now, the start-up is planning the first large-scale plant for this. CarbonStack, another finalist from Universität Hamburg, has developed a platform that simulates the growth of forests. The start-up KONVOI, from TUHH, protects lorries with its alarm system.
Additionally, someone who knows just how these things work, our former start-up support colleague Leonie Wilken, was also among the finalists with her relationship app myndwerk.
