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“.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
