On Tuesday, the final of the KPMG #globaltechinnovator took place. Weeks ago, the pre-selection already started. In a nationwide call for entries, we qualified for the preliminary round in Germany. CEO Prof. Yvonne Hofstetter convinced in a pitch with the technology. 21strategies is the KPMG "Tech Innovator in Germany 2021". Thus, we are very proud to have represented Germany in the KPMG Global Tech Innovator finals. In November 2021 the final took place in Lisbon in combination with the Web Summit 2021. A better place where "The giants of the web assemble" according to the Wall Street Journal probably does not exist.
Congratulations Krilltech. You have deservedly won
In the final in Lisbon, 17 finalists from around the world pitched. All startups were the winners of KPMG's national selections. In dedicated and passionate pitches, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) startup Krilltech NanoAgtech from Brazil won. It stands for the development of sustainable and highly productive agriculture with nanotechnology according to CEO Diego Stone Aires. First runner up was another SDG startup: FIDO Technology from UK helps saving water when detecting leaks in water pipes. Seeing a SDG startup win makes everybody cheering, also the “classical” startups whose objective is to focus on market and economy rather than on solving a social problem.
