ROOOOAAAR! The Startup Panthers Nights (https://www.ruhrhub.de/en/start-up-nights) from the Ruhr area and Münsterland realize their very first cooperative SUN-Event in cooperation with our friends from the Netherlands. In cooperation with the ruhrHUB (http://www.ruhrhub.de/en) we bring strong content and promote maximum networking between the cross-border communities. All this is supported by the Startups X Borders project (https://www.x-borders.eu):
Startups Nights features:
+++ Exclusive talks on startup know-how +++
+++ Practice-driven field reports +++
+++ Pitches from exciting startups +++
+++ Networking with the startup scene & corporates +++
+++ Get-together, After-Work & Tunes +++
The topic for our cross-border Startup Night is "Next-Gen Technologies". We have two special guests from both sides of the border. The event will be held in English language.
Special guests this time:
MARC SANDELOWSKY is director of Space53 (https://www.space53.eu), a drone test center in Twente. Marc has a clear opinion on the further development of the drone industry. Marc foresees drones becoming as commonplace in the coming years as delivery trucks are on the roads now. As eyes, ears and noses in the sky, but also as a means of transportation and a physical tool.
OLIVER ESTER from Westphalia DataLab (https://www.westphalia-datalab.com/) is an expert in the field of artificial intelligence in the health sector. In this talk, he explains the use of algorithms to detect eye diseases. More general, Oliver will reason on future oppertunities in disease diagnosis using digital health technologies. Is there a chance for eternal life?
Before the event closes, we will ultimately announce the participants of the ERCIS Launch Pad Pitch Competition on February 24th (http://www.ercis-launchpad.de).
