Congratulations to the main prize winners of the European Innovation Academy 2013 on behalf of the IT Academy! We all hope that this awesome business idea will have a big future ahead of it.
The final gala night was full of giving out different awards and prizes and supporting a lot of other startups as well to help as many of them to develop further in the future. One of the best statements that night though was that the presentations and ideas presented by the EIA competitors had been better than the Latitude 59 ones. I can't agree more.
This picture and many other pictures of the night can be seen here.
Also, be sure to check out and show your support for the winning team's startup Facebook page.
Latitude 59 and the last two days
For the last two days EIA was merged with a conference taking place at the same time at TUT called Latitude 59. The conference included several speakers from around the world, all of who were connected with startups and most of them with silicon valley as well.
For the EIA 2013 contestants it seemed to be either a day of rest or for those who were still in the competition, it was a day of final rehearsals. In the end it was nice to see how much support the final 10 teams (and later 5) had while presenting their startups.
Unfortunately I could not take any pictures myself during these two days, but the pictures can be found here and here.

EIA2013 Comes to a Close
What a wild ride it's been. My time in Tallinn is almost over, but my advegnture is just getting started. I'm so thankful right now. Thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing start-up conference; for all of the amazing support from the mentors, staff, and other participants; and especially for my awesome team.
Now, onto the next chapter.
