"Demo Day" at the university - it's not about protests, but about presenting innovative start-up ideas as part of the university incubator "hike" - the "incubator" for new business start-ups.

On Wednesday, 11 December 2024 from 15:45 to 18:30 in the Audimax, the innovative start-ups that have been supported in the development of their ideas in recent months as part of the university incubator will present themselves.

The hike start-up teams, including DORI, anfang., findolin and kiindly, will present the ideas and successes they have achieved in recent months. The audience plays a special role in deciding which team is the most convincing and wins the audience award. The teams, consisting of employees and students from Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, demonstrate the importance of an active start-up and entrepreneurial culture for the city of Nordhausen and the entire region of Northern Thuringia.


From innovative plant baskets for hydroponic systems, apps for bereavement counselling and reducing the ecological footprint, innovative care products for children to artificial intelligence in social services, the start-ups cover a broad spectrum of industries and interests. The event offers a unique opportunity to meet the brains behind these creative projects in person at a relaxed networking event. To the


In addition to the pitches, the demo day also offers the opportunity to experience the startups' prototypes first-hand.
