What a surprise

I still can't believe it: we are one of the ten teams that were honoured at the Science4Life Venture Cup for their business plan. A great thanks to

• the Science4Life team, especially Christiane Wohlers, for the perfect organisation
• our coach Wolfgang Schmidt for valueable feedback on our business plan
• the unknown jury members for sending us their assessments
  
• the speakers for the interesting presentations about business development, patents and law issues
• Sanofi-Aventis and Bundesland Hessen for the sponsoring of this event
  
• everybody else for their input and the exciting discussions!

Hope to see you again soon!
