Congratulations to the main prize winners of the European Innovation Academy 2013 on behalf of the IT Academy! We all hope that this awesome business idea will have a big future ahead of it.

The final gala night was full of giving out different awards and prizes and supporting a lot of other startups as well to help as many of them to develop further in the future. One of the best statements that night though was that the presentations and ideas presented by the EIA competitors had been better than the Latitude 59 ones. I can't agree more.

This picture and many other pictures of the night can be seen here.

Latitude 59 and the last two days

For the last two days EIA was merged with a conference taking place at the same time at TUT called Latitude 59. The conference included several speakers from around the world, all of who were connected with startups and most of them with silicon valley as well.

For the EIA 2013 contestants it seemed to be either a day of rest or for those who were still in the competition, it was a day of final rehearsals. In the end it was nice to see how much support the final 10 teams (and later 5) had while presenting their startups.

Unfortunately I could not take any pictures myself during these two days, but the pictures can be found here and here.

The morning today started with a small blood test. All of the participants had the opportunity to take a test to find out about their health hazards and how they can keep healthy. Now we only have to wait til September and we will be able to learn a little about ourselves again.

Later on in the day, the groups will start pitching. It is weird to see how nervous and uneasy everyone seems, because only 10 groups will pass on from today.

We at IT Academy decided to start a little blog. At the moment the Tallinn University of Technology is holding an amazing event called European Innovation Academy 2013 and we were lucky enough to get a pass to monitor the ongoing event. We thought that it would be a good idea to write down what’s going on at these seminars and share some good ideas that are presented.

Hope you have fun reading our posts. Feel free to share our stories and we would love to share some of yours’.
