The 2nd Prototyping Exchange Event in Berlin comprised two days of intensive workshops and visits of the Green Week Berlin and Bauhaus Archive.
On the first day, creatives and traditional business representatives were getting to know each other through the companies’ speed dating where they had to briefly and attractively describe their business ideas. The workshop was followed by exploring the international exhibition - Green Week Berlin, where the companies got some inspiration from the innovative foodservice and food products providers from the whole world.
The second day of the Prototyping Exchange Event in Berlin was fairly intense. Companies needed to present the prototypes of their future business. The improvised business angels were asking companies’ representatives why their prototypes are worthy to be invested. Many captivating presentations introduced the original business ideas contributing to the blue and green growth in the South Baltic. The creative atmosphere of the event united many enthusiastic people, helping them to achieve the best vision for their enterprises. After companies have finished presenting, they had an opportunity to visit the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.
On the 23d of January, the Steering Committee and Partner Meeting took place in Berlin. The results of the 2nd Prototyping Exchange Event were evaluated by the partners as positive and the next steps towards the finalization of the project were agreed.
The project is getting closer to its finish and, besides the administrative issues, the partners focused on the final CTCC conference, where the companies will be presenting their prototypes. It was also discussed how to help SMEs get the best advantages from the use of the project's deliverables.
