All three startup teams presented their innovations. Urbigo, which creates smart vertical gardens from ecological and recycled materials in which it is possible to grow plants throughout the year, enables monitoring the progress of cultivation with the mobile application. The Sunthetic team deals with the concept of sustainable energy for the future and designs solar chargers for iPhone phones. Mindy is committed to treating hyperkinetic disorders and obesity in children through play.
Ambassador of Finland H.E. Pertti Ikonen noted that the innovations are an important, key factor for any country and pointed out that due to innovations Finland is today economically developed country. “Finland was a poor country 100 years ago living from agriculture, but by investing in people and innovation we managed to be where we are today.”
