“Fasten your seatbelts” — The FrachtPilot takes off at International Green Week Berlin 2020
Sebastian Terlunen
The freight pilot has taken off, the first customers have been welcomed on board, and the first big trip to the Green Week is on the agenda for our pilot crew. It was with great pleasure that we were able to announce: FreightPilot is one of this year's finalists for STARTUP DAYS 2020 at International Green Week in Berlin!
After traveling together, we got a taste of trade fair air the day before and also visited the Regional Star Awards, which gave an interesting insight into current regional marketing concepts. When setting up our own exhibition stand in the exhibition area of the Marshall House, the anticipation of many well-known and new interested parties was already growing customers to be welcomed in the following days.
International Green Week keeps its promises. The big highlight took place right at the start of the first day. With the official opening of STARTUP DAYS, our founder Dr. Sebastian Terlunen is the first participant to pitch in front of a top-class jury at the trade fair's Professional Center.
And what should we say? The Freight Pilot left a lasting impression! After three exciting days in Berlin, we are proud to present ourselves as the winner of STARTUP DAYS 2020 at International Green Week Berlin. As a “declaration of independence for farmers,” our software prevailed against 19 other finalists out of a total of 52 participants.
Green Week is also about networking. We would like to thank the many interested visitors to our stand for exciting discussions, some of whom will now also be able to steer a freight pilot in the future.
We are also particularly pleased about the valuable exchange of experiences with numerous representatives from the industry, associations and politics. We are taking a mountain of business cards and back to Münsterland and are looking forward to working together in the future.
After various newspaper and TV interviews, the media coverage of our profit truly overwhelmed us. For example, it's worth taking a look at the ARD media library. Following STARTUP DAYS, Zibb magazine visited us and asked FrachtPilots again in detail. Following the TV broadcast, a report about the Freight Pilot is now also available online as part of the ntv Startup magazine.
The following links are also the reports of Farmers' newspaper and the f3 magazine:
At the Start-Up Days, Freight Pilot was awarded to a start-up that aims to facilitate direct agricultural marketing with a platform.
At International Green Week, entrepreneurs from the agricultural and food sectors pitched and presented their business ideas as part of Startup Days. “Freight Pilot” from Münster took first place.
