This year, too, the official start was marked by the G4A Kickoff Event, supported by Schaltzeit.<\/p>\n<p>Grants4Apps is a program that supports startups in the field of digital health (eHealth). Each year, 4\u20135 selected startups are invited to Berlin for 100 days, receive \u20ac50,000 in funding, and undergo intensive training.<\/p>\n<p>Together with Schaltzeit, the Grants4Apps team developed the concept under the motto \u201cFantastic Four!\u201d \u2013 four startups from four countries in four health areas \u2013 all in the fourth year of Grants4Apps. With more than 600 participants, the G4A Kickoff Event on August 22, 2016, was Europe\u2019s largest MedTech event.<\/p>\n<p>What program and which highlights should the startup event offer? How can the startups be properly welcomed and introduced? How can the eHealth scene be involved beyond that? How can communication and media design be carried out creatively and attractively? And of course, organizational questions had to be planned too \u2013 venue, VIPs to invite, program\u2026 Working with the G4A team, we developed the program in a participatory way, contributed ideas, drew up the schedule, coordinated the development and production of materials, posters, banners, etc. with the designer, and took over event management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet shit done\u201d was the watchword, and under this motto we planned with the G4A team and prepared the event in record time. We particularly enjoyed coaching the startups and the hosts for the stage \u2013 and of course the evening itself, which went off to everyone\u2019s great satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>The stage program, the startups\u2019 booths, table tennis, lots of chatting, drinking and eating together, and smashing the pi\u00f1ata at midnight \u2013 the evening had plenty of highlights to offer!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about the Grants4Apps Kickoff Event, you can read the following articles, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deutsche Welle: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/de\/was-will-ein-pharmariese-mit-start-ups\/a-19498313\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.dw.com\/de\/was-will-ein-pharmariese-mit-start-ups\/a-19498313<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Star: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-star.co.ke\/news\/2016\/09\/06\/berlin-notebook-2016-on-the-origins-and-long-term-significance-of-the_c1413643\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.the-star.co.ke\/news\/2016\/09\/06\/berlin-notebook-2016-on-the-origins-and-long-term-significance-of-the_c1413643<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Asian Scientist: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianscientist.com\/2016\/09\/academia\/bayer-vital-smith-bless-grants4apps-accelerator\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.asianscientist.com\/2016\/09\/academia\/bayer-vital-smith-bless-grants4apps-accelerator\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Handelsblatt: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/unternehmen\/beruf-und-buero\/leaderin\/bayer-netzexpertin-jessica-federer-in-zwei-jahren-spricht-keiner-mehr-ueber-digital-leadership\/14430196.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.handelsblatt.com\/unternehmen\/beruf-und-buero\/leaderin\/bayer-netzexpertin-jessica-federer-in-zwei-jahren-spricht-keiner-mehr-ueber-digital-leadership\/14430196.html<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A nice statement about Grants4Apps came from Jessica Federer &#8211; Head of Digital Development at Bayer \u2013 in an interview with Handelsblatt: \u201cThe Grants4Apps project is changing the way people look at Bayer.\u201d Innovations in health care and startups come up again and again in our daily work, which is why we are delighted to have been accompanying Grants4Apps for 4 years now.<\/p>\n<p>Our heartfelt thanks go above all to Grants4Apps initiator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yeysus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Jesus de Valle<\/a> for the long and excellent collaboration!
