First Place at the Data Science Ruhrgebiet Pitch Contest 2026
On September 24, we won the Data Science Ruhrgebiet Pitch Contest 2026. The competition took place for the first time as part of the Data Science Ruhrgebiet Congress at Ruhr University Bochum. During the contest, young startups from the Ruhr region presented their companies and technologies to an expert jury. In the end, blixdata secured first place and €3,000 in prize money.
Following our win at the Senkrechtstarter Award, we are especially happy about another recognition and the strong feedback from the Data Science community. A big thank you to the Data Science Ruhrgebiet team, Aulinger, WERK X and everyone involved for organizing the event and bringing the community together.
