Six innovative start-ups fight for victory in the Grow final!

As part of the start-up initiative "Grow", there are now six promising teams in the final, which were selected by Deloitte Austria and the Impact Hub Vienna. These young innovators start an intensive six-month acceleration program to further develop their sustainable business ideas and make it marketable. The aim of this program is not only to offer the finalists valuable support, but also a platform to raise their ideas to the next level. The top two start-ups await a total of 15,000 euros in prize money in June 2025 and 100 hours of free consulting services from Deloitte, such as ots.at reported.

This year's finalists include start-ups with innovative approaches to promote sustainable practices. The Sonnig team offers companies an app that provides renewable energies as an employee advantage. With a AI supported application, Les ensembles, on the other hand, helps to use clothing effectively to avoid garbage. Sturc produces alternative wooden panels from coffee waste and thus reduces resource consumption. Other companies include cellogics, social cooling and smiling food that offer all solutions to improve ecological efficiency in various industries. According to Impactthub.net , the finalists will work on their business concepts in the coming weeks, supported by experts from the field of startup development, financial advice and sustainable corporate management.

The program includes tailor -made workshops, individual coaching and the opportunity to form a strong network among creative entrepreneurs. After the development phase, the finalists have the opportunity to present their projects to an expert jury. This selects the two most promising start-ups that are rewarded with additional prices. Deloitte and Impact Hub thus focus on the support of entrepreneurs who are willing to develop and implement innovative approaches for a sustainable future.
