What does it actually take to turn an idea into a product? 💡

That was the question behind the HHL ProtoLab Demo Day on campus a few days ago.

Batch #3 showed their work through live demos and prototypes you could actually pick up and try.

The key takeaway: turning an idea into a product means showing people what still doesn't work, not just what does.

Thank you to Batch #3 for building in the open and to everyone who stayed for drinks, snacks, and the conversations after. ✨

Got a startup that never made it past Stage One or never got the chance to try?🚀

The Wildcards are a second door into the largest pan-European university start-up competition — a direct route to Berlin, no University Round required.

This year, four industry partners are opening that door:
→ ⚙️ Data and Physical Intelligence Wildcard by Siemens
For startups building the next generation of industrial, infrastructure, or mobility solutions at the intersection of hardware and industrial AI.
→ 💡 Impact Wildcard by better ventures
For startups tackling social or environmental challenges — planet or people — with impact at the core of the business model.
→ 👩‍💼 Female Team Wildcard by SectorPi
For startups with at least one female founder in a top management position (CEO, CTO, or equivalent).
→ 🔬 exist Wildcard
For exist-funded startups ready to take their innovation to Europe's leading startup stage.

Three startups per Wildcard get to pitch live at "A Final Quest" on October 21 in Berlin, hosted by Gateway Factory and hubraum.

An on-site jury decides who takes the Wildcard and moves on to .io on October 23 — the pan-European final for the best startups spinning out of leading universities.

If you're building something right now at HHL — or you already are as an alumnus or alumna — this is your shortcut to the main stage of Europe's startup ecosystem.

📅 Applications close September 1st.
