We are very proud to share that GUF team was awarded 3rd place at the Goethe Innovation Prize Event with “Modulux3D” Project: a 3D bioprinter that revolutionizes medical research through tissue engineering. This award recognizes research projects with great innovation potential and benefits for customers or patients.
Last December 11 took place in Frankfurt a pitch competition to select the winning teams of this year’s Goethe Innovation Prize. This prize is conceded by Goethe-Unibator, the start-up center of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main operated by the technology transfer company Innovectis. It provides students, academic staff, and alumni with active support for their start-up projects and acts as a bridge between science and business.
From a high number of applications, five projects qualified for the final and had the chance to deliver their pitches in 4 minutes in front of an audience of over 100 people. The three best teams were selected by an expert jury and won prize money and participation in the Unibator start-up program.
Louise Breideband and Levin Hafa presented the “Modulux3D” start-up, originated from B-BRIGHTER project, that aims to bring our 3D bioprinting technology to the market. They highlighted its innovative bio-printer that uses light to network biological cells and a special bio-ink. After a great and convincing pitch about the vast potential of 3Dbioprinting in the field of biomedicine, they won the third prize. Congratulations!
