The accelerator kicked off its seventh round with the Start Your TRIP event! The official starting signal for seven months of innovation, exchange and energy was given at Bandhaus Erfurt.
The start of a new TRIP year
At Start Your TRIP, the 14 start-ups selected by the TRIP team presented their start-up projects in a three-minute pitch to the TRIP community. The spectrum ranged from medtech and life sciences to robotics, cyber security and deep tech – a strong sign of the diversity of innovation in Thuringia.
The TRIP team led by Olga Röder and Andreas Sonnefeld was there, along with many partners and experts from the ecosystem. Together with Dr Sabine Awe, Head of Economic Development at TMWLLR, the coveted tickets for TRIP Batch 7 were then handed over.

What happens next

The journey culminates in a major pitch event, where the TRIP finalists present their progress and visions to investors, partners and the Thuringian start-up ecosystem.
We look forward to a strong Batch 7 and seven months full of ideas, energy and growth.
Let’s accelerate Thuringia!
