The winner of this year’s Boldbrain Startup Challenge is Foldcast, a remarkable spin-off from the Academy of Architecture at USI.
Foldcast has introduced an ingenious solution to revolutionize the construction industry by significantly reducing concrete usage.
This innovative startup not only received a CHF 40,000 cash prize but also secured our full scholarship of CHF 54,000 for the USI Executive Master in Business Administration, in addition to consultancy vouchers from Bär & Karrer and Fidinam.
The project is developed by an outstanding team composed of Prof. Ena Lloret-Fritschi (USI), Fabio Amicarelli (PhD candidate, USI), Andrea Realini and Elia Quadranti.
The pitch of Fabio Amicarelli has also convinced the Award Ceremony attendees, bringing Foldcast the Audience Award.
