Hoyou wins at the Start-up Weekend Uri 2023
Altdorf/Steinhausen ZG - Der Kanton Uri hat am Start-up-Weekend Uri 2023 seine Vorteile für Jungunternehmen vorgestellt. Den dabei durchgeführten Wettbewerb unter vier Start-ups gewann die Hoyou AG. Das Jungunternehmen aus Steinhausen betreibt eine Plattform für den Tausch von Immobilien.
The Canton of Uri held the second edition of its Start-up Weekend Uri from 1 to 4 September. The canton “once again presented itself as an attractive location for start-ups”, writes the cantonal Department of Economic Affairs in a statement. Four young companies were given the opportunity to further develop their business idea “in an inspiring environment between co-working space, canoe tours and culinary delights together with expert coaches”, it continues.
“We have only known the canton of Uri in passing,” Miro Mandelz and Philip Zollinger of appreci8 are quoted as saying. Their start-up from Zollikon ZH uses artificial intelligence to mediate between job seekers and employers. “During the three days, we were able to get to know the versatile business and living location of Uri better and further develop our business idea.”
At the final presentation on 4 September, Christine Hegglin was able to convince the jury of experts from companies and the cantonal administration with her platform for real estate exchange. She received the *zünder wildcard for this and is allowed to participate in the *zünder accelerator funding programme with her start-up Hoyou without going through the selection process.
