At the Demo Day on 12 March, 9 Thuringian start-ups from the sixth edition of TRIP presented their advanced business concepts. In the final phase of the programme, the projects in the final TRIP class will then be accelerated once again: It’s all about VC capital.
For the sixth time, the Thuringian Regional Innovation Programme has accelerated and further developed start-ups in the TRIP Class.
At the Demo Day on 12 March, the regional innovation community came together at the Mehnert Lab in Erfurt to get to know the further developed innovations of the TRIP Class 2024/25 and the new technologies of the Thuringian startup scene.
After five months of expertise, monthly workshops, individual coaching sessions, a budget to produce a first prototype and community networking in Thuringia’s innovation ecosystem, the teams pitched their business models in a 3-minute pitch. Of course, there were also plenty of networking opportunities and the chance to test prototypes themselves. The highlight was of course the awarding of the Final TRIP Class tickets!
A total of six Thuringian start-up projects made it into the Final TRIP Class – congratulations!
- PartPrinz (Jena)
- Migohead (Erfurt)
- INGE (Barchfeld-Immelborn)
- MindLeague (Weimar)
- Project GG (Jena)
- WaterLamp (Erfurt)
The selected teams have a special opportunity to scale up. The concepts are very diverse and range from healthcare and medtech to green tech and digitalisation solutions. For the final phase of the TRIP Class, the focus is now on venture capital financing. The start-ups can expect exclusive modules to accompany them to investment readiness. The highlight is a pitch on stage on 4 June 2025 at the tenth edition of Investor Days Thuringia.
For the 10th time, the event will bring the international startup community together in Erfurt on 4 and 5 June to put innovations in the spotlight, facilitate investments and generate collaborations.
