Demo Day on September 3rd 2024
The Protoype Fund invites you to the Demo Day on September 3rd 2024 at bUm in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
At our Demo Day, the projects from the 15th funding round will present the results of their work and how they got there in presentations, panel discussions and live demos. During the six-month funding period, the developers dealt with a wide variety of technological and social issues: From algorithms on causality to support in the German funding landscape and in recognizing human rights violations to the detection of litter in coastal regions, there is almost nothing that does not exist. Now is the time to showcase and celebrate this work!
Jens Ohlig, member of the Prototype Fund jury, will give the keynote speech at the opening of the Demo Day. He works as a cybersecurity consultant and was previously an editor at Tagesspiegel Background Cybersecurity, worked for Wikimedia Deutschland for many years and was a board member of the CCC. In the keynote speech “Aus gutem Grund: Software für das Ehrenamt”, he will shed light on how and why volunteers work behind the scenes on digital and social infrastructures, what patterns exist for this volunteer work and how it acts as a real pillar for technology and coexistence. The possible answers to these questions lead us through self-designed meeting places of tech-enthusiastic hackers, Wikipedia and several software projects.
As always, in addition to the project presentations and a supporting program, there will also be plenty of time for exchange with grantees and the audience as well as delicious catering!
Please note: You need a free ticket to take part:
