Winner at Techfugees Global Summit

As one of the few German projects we were on stage at the Techfugees Global Summit 2018. We were the only German team to take home a prize: The 1st place in the category “Access to Rights & Information”. After several jury rounds, the winners of the Techfugees Global Challenge competition were announced at Station F in Paris. The winning projects were selected by an international jury of experts from more than a hundred applications. The competition was open to innovative projects supporting Techfugees’ five priority areas: Access to rights and information, health, education, work and social inclusion.

The event was organized by Techfugees, who also published a video of our presentation by Laura and Sven:
