Startup-Promotion

5GoIng aims to promote the innovative power of Startups by operating the 5G test field as a freely accessible Open Innovation Lab, but also by promoting Startups in cooperation with the well-networked institutional infrastructure in Ingolstadt and Bavaria. The digital Startup centre brigk and brigkAIR, the Startup centre GEZ, the centres for entrepreneurship and Startup networks of the universities as well as other organisations such as ProEmployment and the Active Seniors will support the region´s Startups in all phases of their foundation.

The 5G Startup-Challenge

The 5G StartUp Challenge conducted in the concept phase showed a high level of interest from startups to test and further develop product ideas in a 5G test field. In a virtual workshop, the eleven participating startups had the opportunity to present their company and ideas in a pitch. In addition, they were able to talk to experts and industry representatives and clarify open questions. Furthermore, the Ingolstadt 5G test site at the IN Campus as well as possible technical and infrastructural connecting points for 5G startups were presented. Afterwards, there was one week to submit the project ideas. A five member jury reviewed the concepts and chose their favourite: Ingolstadt-based ZERO GmbH!
