Now, let's back up to Czech Republic. Why we are here today and what we

will see today? That's Starcube Show, the final presentation of our startups from Starcube acceleration

program. I would like to remind you briefly what it is.

Starcube is a three months acceleration program that helps people to bring their ideas and

come up with the product prototypes that they test on the market.

We select, we have, we had seventy projects that applied for Starcube this summer. Seventy

projects applied.

And we don't have so much space for our startups, so we have to choose

just eleven.

Eleven projects get to do Starcube program and under the... sorry. And they work with

our experts and mentors, and they were challenged every day about their business ideas, business

models, about their customers; about pretty much everything.

So, at the end, we had to

nine teams that made it today.

I am not sure if you count quickly, but there are really just nine remaining

birds on the wires.

Today is going to be about awards as well.

So, what we are going to witness?

We have three types of awards.

The first one is a people's choice.

Today you will have the opportunity to vote for your favourite startup.

On the badge you get at the registration desk, you have a voting card that

you can... that you can use during the break.

The second award

is based on the journalists' decision.

It's from our main sponsor, from our main media sponsor, IHNED.cz.

And the first award, the most important one, is based on decision of our jury.

That's award for the best startup today.

We will start with nine presentations. Nine teams will present, in two minutes each, their

project. It will be really quickly, and I hope you really trained the presentations,

because there will be no questions and answer panel in these, in this session.

Then,

we have just five teams.

Five teams will be selected by jury that will present in the second stage of

our show.

So five teams. Each one will have five minutes for presentation of their own project,

and five minutes for questions an answer panel with our jury.

The jury then will select the one, the only one team that will be awarded

as the best startup.

Other two teams will be awarded as well, but there is just one winner.

We will have coffee breaks

during the afternoon. So, after the first session, we have a first coffee break. Then

you will see the top five teams presenting their projects, then there will be another

coffee break. And at the end of the show today we all will be... you

all will be invited for banquet session.

So,

who is... who will be the winner today, it's up to our jury.

So let me briefly introduce you our experts that will today decide who is the

best startup.

So there is David Booth from TallBoy Investments.

The other judge, the second judge is Markus Dettenhofer, a new CEO of CEITEC.

And then we have Vincent Vergonjeanne, a founder of Kobojo

from France.

We have Tomaš Čupr from Slevomat.

And from Slovakia, Ivan Debnar, founder of zoznam.sk.

So, these are the experts who'll be responsible today for awarding the best startup from

this autumn Starcube Show.

But before we proceed to presentations, I would like to take this opportunity and thank

our sponsors for their support.

We have main partners. like Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Czech ICT Alliance; that helped us most

with their expertise, with their, with financing the program; with pretty much everything.

And we also have other great organisations and companies that helped us. So, I would

like you to give a really warm, warm applause for these sponsors.

Without these guys we wouldn't be here today.

But, the last thing I need to

say to you is that I want to remind you a few simple rules about

this special place.

Please silent your cell phones. Fortunately, none of the cell phones was ringing yet or

maybe I am hearing-impaired, so I didn't hear any of the cell phones. But silent

them, please. No food or beverages inside this room, there will be plenty of space

in the foyer.

And no smoking in the whole observatory, please.

But I encourage you to have a lot of fun, to take this opportunity to

meet great people and also to prepare for what's going to happen next.

I want you to take a deep breath,

to prepare for the presentation. I'm talking now to our startups, not to the audience.

Because now, we will jump

on the stage. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you nine startups that's attended

Starcube this autumn, and that will be presenting today. Thank you.
