Die Pioniergarage lädt zu ihrem Informationsabend ein.
Achtung Raumänderung! Da
The Pioniergarage invites you to its weekly meeting on Tuesday, May 15th, at the “KreaLab” (Geb. 10.23, 5th floor).
This week is all about “made by pioneer”. 3 pioneers will talk about the projects they are working on and what their next steps are.
In addition we will present the upcoming events like Startup Crawl.
We would be happy to see you on Tuesday! 
As most of you already know, our last Startup Tour took place in Switzerland. Like everything the PionierGarage does, it was just awesome!
We arrived in Zurich, where we would stay for most of our time, on May 2. Of course, our program didn’t wait and we immediately visited TECHNOPARK Zurich and ElectricFeel with CEO and Co-founder Moritz Meenen who co-founded our own PionierGarage as well. We then went to HUB Zurich. Last but not least, we had an inspirational talk with Reto Frei, founder of the first from the famous “tibits” vegetarian restaurants. Check out more: Pioneers in Zurich – day one.
On our second day in Zurich, we spoke with CEO Roman Gaus of UrbanFarmers, Doodle co-Founder Paul Sevinç, BlueLion Incubator, the inventors of the scanner mouse – Dacuda. We even had the opportunity to try the professional life of a real surgeon in a virtual reality thanks to our extremely welcoming hosts of VirtaMed. At the end of the day, the PionierGarage organized the first Founders’ BBQ (Gründergrillen) in Switzerland. Lots of people visited – it was a huge success. We hope it will flourish thanks to the startup community for its own members as it has proved to be able to not only in Karlsruhe but in other cities like Stuttgart and Hamburg as well!
May 4 was our third day in and around Zurich. We started with a talk from Creathor Venture and then went to Centralway in Winterthur and Technopark Luzern.
Saturday, May 6 took place in the Hub, not because the weather was worse than what it was during the previous, nor only thanks to the hospitality of the whole team there, but because we had plan to make a compressed version of a Startup Weekend. In just a few hours, all teams were able to achieve more than most I have met in all such events could do for twice or thrice the time! Adjectives like motivated, focused and hard-working can’t fully describe a mighty Pionieer working passionately on a great idea!
In the end, we met the creative founders of Waldraud and had a great and delicious time thanks to the people from the Senior Design Factory.
Many things could not be included in such a short text, but every single Pioneer who took part in our Startup Tour in Switzerland will tell you that it was great and a lot better than our huge expectations!
Stay tuned and get ready for our upcoming hot events!

Welcome back fellow readers!
We just returned to our hotel from the hub, where we celebrated the first founders bbq in Switzerland. The bbq was preceded by a meetup conference about economical and ecological footprints. The guests of both events mingled and ended up with wine, beer, Bratwurst and great chitchatting. We hope that the concept of this founders barbeque will spread the word here in Zurich and will be continued!
But let’s start from the beginning. Our day started early at the Hub with insights to the Urban farmers. CEO Roman Gaus got us started with explaining the technology behind their concept of producing food IN the city FOR the city. Next stop was Doodle with Co-Founder Paul Sevinç sharing his experience and favourite books. We discovered another incubator BlueLion a little outside of Zurich but then returned to see Dacuda and Virtamed – both very promising startups.
Tomorrow we will go to Winterthur and see Luzern’s Technopark followed by a dinner at Senior Design Factory’s restaurant back in Zurich. Stay tuned !
