The 20th edition of the Startup VŠE competition of the minor specialization Entrepreneurship – Startups and Innovation took place on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.
5 projects from a total of 22 projects that applied this year have advanced to the final round of the Startup VŠE competition.
Siberlogy has become a VŠE startup 2024.
The winner of the Startup VŠE competition is Siberlogy, a project that comes to the market with the intention of offering orthopaedic patients and their patients custom-made orthopaedic insoles, thanks to 3D printing. “We will save orthopedists time, help them in their work and still offer them a bigger commission,” explained Zdeněk Tejkl, student and creator of the project, which is now in the stage of refining and testing already usable prototypes. He will use the scholarship of CZK 100,000 to buy a 3D scanner or another 3D printer.
In addition to Siberlogy, the Pracujvezdravotnictvi.cz project was also awarded. It is a job portal designed exclusively for students and professionals in the medical and healthcare fields. It also took home one hundred thousand crowns, which were donated by Marek Vašíček and Otakar Šuffner from FTMO. “We managed to sign contracts with 17 hospitals not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Switzerland and Germany. This month, we will onboard three more hospitals,” said founders Simon Senčar and Aiman Al Masani.
Thank you to our general partner FTMO for supporting the competition.
