Whether in training or during competitions, without digital help, the top results and records of recent years would not have been possible to measure!

There are special devices such as pacemakers, smart wheelchairs and dialysis machines. What is missing? Choose one of the health challenges and develop wearable support for millions of health-conscious people!

But how do individuals or companies that have a limited budget protect themselves - and what from? Dive into the world of security and surprise the jury with your idea! Retail Let’s sell smarter! The trickiest part of modern retail is figuring out how to optimize the four factors for sales success: product, price, promotion and place. If you dive into collecting and analyzing some interesting data, you will surely find easy ways for sellers to increase their performance. Join us and work on this super hot topic! Wildcard Our partners and supporters are passionate about many topics across various industries!
