Winners of GREEN LIGHT Programme.

On April 12, 2018 the Technical University in Ostrava held the finals of the 5th year

of GREEN LIGHT accelerator to support enterprise. Eight startup business projects

were introduced.

The committee’s Grand Prix and a few other awards

went to a project called Dustee. The initiator of the

project, Nikola Carić, commented on his success,

“I came up with the idea of a personal air quality

monitor because I am worried about the poor air quality

of air and it is my professional interest in the nonprofit organization Čisté nebe (‘Clear Skies’). Through

Accelerator, I found an amazing team of people

from various spheres with one common interest.”

The Quine Engine project came second: it is a platform

to process and visualize ideas and products which

need to be presented in 3D. “Generally people learn to

understand easier and in more detail via 3D presentation, and our system helps programmers and graphic

designers to make such presentations. Through

GREEN LIGHT we clarified our business model and

received contacts in the international market,” said

Ondřej Vaňka, designer of the programme.

Third place was project Bellecup. Its prospective

clients include plastic surgeons, one of which,

MUDr. Libor Streit Ph.D., is the originator of the idea.

“Our device to remove and process body fat considerably shortens the time of a surgery. We will use our

award money to pay for international business trips

to meet investors and prospective distributors,” he

added.

38 projects applied in the 5th year of GREEN LIGHT

Accelerator, eight of which successfully accomplished

an intensive three-month programme for the teams

to develop their products through workshops and

personal consultations.
