The Final Fifteen

  • Artikel

With just two weeks to go until the 8th BizSpark European Summit, I thought I’d give you a sneak preview of the fifteen start-ups who will be pitching to our panels of investors and other VIP judges on June 7th in London.

It’s kind of a cliché to say that choosing just fifteen was hard, but believe me, it was. Year-on-year, the calibre of  the start-ups who apply to the event just continues to rise.  So while Europe may be going through a period of economical turmoil, that doesn’t seem to be stopping entrepreneurs having great ideas.  Of course, making sure that they have the support they need to survive is a whole other matter.

Our final fifteen represent a wide geography, from Finland to Greece, from Russia to Israel and across all kinds of markets, including games, healthcare, retail and a whole host of productivity tools.  Mobile apps and cloud solutions are well-represented too.  So, in alphabetical order, a drum-roll please for:

  1. 6Wunderkinder (Germany) – cross platform task and project management made easy – across personal and business life
  2. Autitouch (Netherlands) – using touch technology to improve the speed, ease and accuracy of autism diagnosis
  3. Commerce Guys (France) – harnessing the power of Drupal content management to create advanced e-commerce solutions
  4. Entertrainer (Finland) – a smartphone app that measures ball speeds and records results – a great sports training tool
  5. Fitting Reality (Russia) – a virtual fitting room that finds the clothes that fit and suits you – and which are available
  6. Foresight (Israel) – guaranteed network business continuity even when faced with cyber attacks
  7. Jampot (Ireland) – build your own app on any platform, without any code or development experience

  9. Mobilebits (Germany) – easy delivery of mobile games across multiple platforms
  10. Paperlit (Italy) – helps publishers to make content available on mobiles and tablets – low entry cost and scalability

    I am from Netherlands, and gives more importance to technology. The fifteen members chosen above had great ideas in fact. But, a great effort from all those fifteen and the countrymen is required to to make it real. It's been 4 years now and hope that one of the promises has been come to real. Obviously, I am distributing security devices like cameras, voice recorders, alarm systems etc. over the internet. See my websitehttp://www.spysecurityshop.nl and the collection of spy and security devices. Since the law has been announced the use of security cameras within every building and office premises, the need of ip cameras and video surveillance systems increased. One who need it for cheap, buy it directly from the website.
