WOW! What a journey and amazing Grand Finale! We are thankful to everyone for being part of the UT Challenge in this seventh edition.

We can’t stop thinking about the Grand Finale and look back at an amazing afternoon. Full of thrilling final pitches, interesting jury members, nerve wracking showdown, and of course the exciting award ceremony!

3D Medical Support (Start-up), J58 (Prototyping) and Treetune (Ideation) were declared category winners on stage of the seventh edition of the UT Entrepreneurial Challenge in Muziekcentrum Enschede on 20 June. They managed to convince the jury best and kept their cool in front of 350 attendees.

3D Medical Support uses the latest innovations in 3D printing technology to create tailored products which support medical professionals around the world. Their popularity resulted in the ASML Makers Award as well as the Creative Mules Kickstart Award being held up. With this, they receive substantive support from ASML and rebranding/communication assistance from Creative Mules.

J58, a start-up developing a manual wheelchair that allows you to move around while standing, also won several awards. They will receive intensive support from Oost NL in the coming period, winning not only the Oost NL Impact Award, but also the Audience Award with the most votes from the public.

Treetune managed to inspire everyone with their pitch to save the trees in cities now. With the climate clock ticking.

AiCall survived a live demonstration by the judges with verve and will represent UT at the 4TU Impact Challenge. AMACHAN received the Shell Energy Transition Award and will soon start working on further development of their project at the Shell Energy Transition Campus.

Keep in touch with each other, keep on developing your projects. We hope to see you all next edition!
