Four awesome days at the Web Summit in Lisbon!

We attended the 2025 Web Summit in Lisbon. At our booth in the German Park of the de:hub initiative, we demonstrated some autonomous maneuvers with our rover, which is equipped with our software framework for autonomous systems.

Our highlights were:

Keynote by Shruti Patel and Faseel Chemmadan with a live demo of our autonomy features
Pitch by Mitja Echim: Presentation of the TOPAS model and our offerings
We also participated in exclusive networking events, such as the rooftop discussions with Federal Minister Karsten Wildberger, master classes, and the German Startup Night.

We would like to thank the de:hub initiative, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, and the Federal Ministry for Digital and Public Administration for their support.

Together with Finite Air UG and Skinuvita, we represented the DIGITAL HUB INDUSTRY Bremen, showcasing why Bremen is a hotspot for innovation.
