2nd Place in the Elevator Pitch Contest

November 30, 2009

What a great evening it has been. First of all I would like to thank the Jury and the Entrepreneurship Club for organising this event. Secondly I would like to thank my team mates and colleagues Quique de la Mata and Shinsuke Ogawa for working on this project together. We won the 2nd price for the business idea of mobile payments and now we are even more convinced that therre is a lot opportunity in this market. This event was a great opportunity to get feedback on the business idea, the exposure, criticism and experience.

Special mention also has to go the project Cell Tag which won the competition, presented by Eric King. The concept evolves around putting barcodes and tags on cells during the embryo fertilization process for humans. Excellent idea and I am looking forward to watching this project grow.

The third price went to Pedro Martinho whose business idea evolves around air plane maintenance. It is a company of aviation engineers and mechanics whose job it is to reduce the “on the ground time” of airplanes that have been experiencing technical difficulties or damages.

All the other projects were great too and it was great seeing all the presentations. May the entrepreneurial spirit continue!!! Hopefully we get to see the videos soon!!
