Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on going from a high tech, design, web or mobile business idea into a prototype, market strategy or business case over the course of a weekend.

The weekend brings together people with different, complementary skillsets - primarily technological experts, designers, researchers, developers and business people – who turn ideas into startups.

Startupweekend Eindhoven takes place at Strijp-S on June 1, 2 & 3. More information and registration on www.startupweekendeindhoven.nl

Winners 2011
Children once again playing outside en masse… how do you achieve that in today’s digital world? There’s a simple solution to this problem according to Team Fairy Tale, the big winner of the second edition of Startup Weekend Eindhoven: use recognizable images from fairytales and project these into the environment with a mobile application. During the 54 hours this initial idea from TU/e alumni Stefan Zwegers and Niek Otten developed into a real business and the team walked away with a prize package worth € 10,000! The team, nowadays called Storioes, currently builts several software modules. Some of which turned out to be well applicable for an extra product: an EK(European Championship) app that will be available in the app store in two weeks.

Compared to last year, there’s been a forty-percent increase in (early) applications among girls, TU/e spokesperson Floris Ran said Thursday. Ran thinks the extreme increase has to do with ‘the new way of communicating’. “We’re putting more emphasis on what opportunities technology has to offer, rather than focusing on technology itself. As a result, we are now reaching other people instead of just those who were already interested in technology.”
