Three finalists, one site and lots of great ideas: the winning teams were announced yesterday at the pitch day for the Walzwerk ideas competition. Thank you to all the participants and to our judging panel.
At the Pitch Day of the Walzwerk – Student Design Competition for Students, the three finalist teams presented their projects for the WALZWERK site to the jury. Following exciting pitches and in-depth discussions, the winners were announced and the prizes presented.
Out of 30 submitted projects involving a total of 80 students, MIRACOLO, Walzwerk verbindet and See You Up There! made it to the final. We were impressed by the teams’ ideas, dedication and courage.
1st place: MIRACOLO (Lars Elmiger, Dominik Mutti, Nico Uhlmann and Matteo Süess)
2nd place: See You Up There! (Emeline Vilela and Maxime Duc)
3rd place: Walzwerk verbindet (Larissa Hafeneder)
Congratulations to all three teams, and a big thank you to everyone who took part!
Special thanks go to our jury members Bruno Kurz, Carolin Schmüser, Daniel Tüschen, Mauro Filoni and Martin Raimann for their time, thoughtful questions and valuable feedback and to our organisation team Angela Loescher Montal and Charlotte Meier.
