Speaker at the IoTSWC 2022

On Thursday, we were guests at the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona and had the opportunity to present our company and our product RaffSun on the international stage as a selected partner of KNX within the KNX Startup Incubator program.

As the name already suggests, everything here revolved around the topic of IoT (“Internet of Things”) and its application areas in practice. So why were we there with RaffSun as a speaker in the first place?

R+T Innovation Award – Twice!

This week we won the R+T Innovation Award twice with RaffSun!

Of course, it is crucial to generate attention for us and our product in the industry. And we have definitely achieved that this week.
But for us personally, another aspect is just as important:

“They are young, ambitious, independent and want to make the world a little better, make it more sustainable. We are not talking about Fridays for Future activists, but about Morris Haid (18) and Florian Legermann (19). The two Ratingers, who have had a general enthusiasm for science since their school days, want to bring more sustainability into everyday life.

Pitch Training

Again and again we are confronted with the situation that we are asked to present our idea in the form of a pitch and each time we prepare ourselves for such a presentation. Of course, we always give each other feedback and tips, because this is the only way we can improve.

Providing mutual feedback is important and we will never stop giving it, but we still take it as a change of perspective when we suddenly get the chance to take part in a professional pitch training course organised exclusively for us.
