Trends in Technologie und Start-ups bei „Venturepreneurship Aula“

Unternehmerisches Handeln stärken – das fördert die Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz in Forschung und Studium mit unterschiedlichen Aktivitäten, darunter Lehrveranstaltungen in TIMEGATE sowie das neue Zentrum für Wissenstransfer und Innovation oder auch mit der Veranstaltungsreihe „Venturepreneurship Aula“. Auf Initiative von Rektor a.D. Alfred Gutschelhofer, Leiter des Zentrums für Entrepreneurship und angewandte Betriebswirtschaftslehre, kommen regelmäßig Persönlichkeiten aus den Bereichen Venture Capital und Entrepreneurship in der Aula der Uni Graz zusammen. So geschehen am 1. Dezember 2017, als Eveline Steinberger-Kern, Gründerin und Geschäftsführerin von The Blue Minds Company, der steirische Investor Frank Kappe (KaPa-Ventures) und Karl Biedermann, Investmentmanager Seedfinancing des Austria Wirtschaftsservice (AWS), haut- und praxisnah Einblicke in erfolgreiches UnternehmerInnentum vermittelten.

Eveline Steinberger-Kern – sie promovierte 1998 an der Uni Graz (Betriebswirtschaftslehre) – sorgte für eine spannende Keynote. Ihr Unternehmen, The Blue Minds Company (TBMC), beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zur Transformation des Energiesystems. In Tel Aviv betreibt sie Foresight, ein Tochterunternehmen der TBMC, das Software im Bereich digitaler Energiedienstleistungen entwickelt.
Steinberger-Kern machte klar: „Big Data, im Sinne von vielen Daten, für sich ist kein großer Wert. Es geht um Ableitung und Auswertung.“ Energy Hero, eines ihrer Unternehmen, setzt auf einen Algorithmus, der EnergiekundInnen gegen eine Abo-Gebühr automatisch zum jeweils billigsten Anbieter transferiert. Frank Kappe zeigte sich davon überzeugt, dass nun die Zeit für 3D-Druck reif sei. Er investierte mit KaPa-Ventures unlängst 2,1 Millionen Euro in das Unternehmen mything.

Zum Abschluss präsentierten drei Startup – Ipeak.io, Bri.tech und Teamazing –ihre Projekte. Danach konnten sich die BesucherInnen mit Startups aus der Region in der Startup-Expo-Area Netzwerken austauschen. Ergänzt wurde die Expo diesmal mit spannenden Projekten aus Spitzenforschungsteams der Uni Graz sowie mit der „Night of the Startups powered by Up to eleven“.

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
