40% of people who wear glasses don't actually want to wear glasses at all. The problem is, the alternative - wearing contact lenses - is still too impractical. Inserting lenses is time-consuming, often unhygienic and takes a lot of effort. Who likes to touch their eye? 

With the CONNI there is now a quick, clean and comfortable solution to this problem. It is simply attached to the lower eyelid and, with its precise, patented mechanism, applies the contact lens securely, stably and easily to the iris. The CONNI's innovations, which counteract trembling hands and eye-closing reflexes, make what would otherwise be a tedious task a breeze.

WeBackpack is an early stage start-up with the goal of creating a central, digital home for the backpacker and digital nomad community around the world. Our all-in-one "travel & work" social platform significantly simplifies the organizational process of travel planning by consolidating all important functions in one central location, enabling carefree travel and work. Among other things, this is realized by an AI-supported evaluation of user-generated content. 

WeBackpack captures value through bookings made via our partners on the platform and a subscription based model for our users.

The Lesson Organizer is a planning tool which provides all the significant elements to plan a lesson. It exists as an analog card set and as an app with a lesson-framework, a pool of proven methods and a place for all the ideas. All the elements are flexible, so it is easy to add new content and drag the items around until the teacher is happy with it. It is also possible to share the lessons with others and to work together on one lesson, which is also needed during the teacher training. Furthermore, the teachers can save the lessons and connect them to the respective syllabus of the state. This makes it even easier to share them with other teachers.

The Lesson Organizer can be bought as a card set, the app with a subscription or a combination of both through our online shop. We advertise it for example through teacher associations, the academy for teacher trainings, facebook-groups and Youtube.

The idea of Starwise is to make shopping for clothes smarter and faster. We want to create an app, which will only show those clothes, that suit your clothing lines, based on Kibbe's philosophy. 
This idea is not about making people look taller or thinner, it is about guiding people on how to use clothes as a tool to bring out the natural beauty of a person. We believe that our app will help people not to follow common trends but develop their own authentic style. As an additional feature, the app will provide you with recreated affordable iconic looks, such as Rachel Green from Friends or Audrey Hepburn.

The goal of TvrochaBa (creative granny) is to add happiness to the everyday life of ukrainians grandparents and ensure a carefree and interesting old age by earning money with their hobbies. So, we decided to create a project that will help grandparents make a comfort living by earning money from their favorite things - hobbies. In short, we collect products of grandmothers all over Ukraine and find a buyer for them. But sometimes it is difficult to find buyers because of the granny`s understanding of modern fashion, so we adapt grandmothers to trends and offer them to make products that we design ourselves. The main idea is to show the consumer the beauty of the world of handmade of our grandmothers. And also to show grandmothers that they make the beauty that people wear.
