Team A-Bionic is addressing the global inaccessibility of modern prosthetic limbs, which often cost upwards of €40,000. Their solution: a cost-effective, modular bionic hand with muscle control via sEMG sensors, independent finger movement, eco-friendly materials, and a 96-hour battery life. The team is already testing their prototype with Estonian Paralympian Robin Liksor and aims to launch their MVP in 2025. 

Team members are Sander Klaassen, Oskar Lepmets, Kevin Gubar and Magomed Akhmedov (Product Development and Production Engineering). They participated in the event through the Collider course Entrepreneurship and Business Planning, lecturer Sirje Ustav. 

Biluminate tackles the risks of neonatal jaundice, a condition that affects most newborns and can go undetected after early hospital discharge. Their solution is a mobile app integrated with a clinically validated transcutaneous bilirubinometer, allowing parents to monitor bilirubin levels and feeding patterns at home, with data transmitted in real-time to hospitals. This approach improves care while reducing stress and hospital stays.  

Team members are Eliise Tall, Aida Danielyan and Berna Sarraf (Digital Health MSc). They participated in the event through the Collider course Entrepreneurship and Business Planning, lecturer Doris Kaljuste. 

Foldy reimagines the traditional child bike seat, turning it into a foldable, multifunctional product that serves a purpose even after the child outgrows it. Designed for urban families, it combines compact storage, recycled materials, and adaptable features, offering an innovative take on sustainable mobility. The team plans to launch their MVP in late 2025 across several EU markets.  

Team members are Kadri Kontus (Design and Technology Futures) and Iris-Gertrud Jussila (Food Technology and Development). They participated in the event through the Collider course Entrepreneurship and Business Planning, lecturer Olev Tõru. 

Additionally, Foldy received the exclusive invitation to participate in the IESE Business School’s Ignite Bootcamp in Barcelona, taking place from July 28–31, where they will benefit from world-class mentorship and entrepreneurial training. 

TREK: Connect with travellers, share rides, and make your intercity trips more affordable and sustainable 

Anyone who’s ever searched through Facebook for a last-minute ride between cities knows the struggle – unclear details, no safety checks, and unreliable communication. TREK solves this by offering a dedicated platform for intercity ride-sharing – a Baltic response to BlaBlaCar. Users can browse, book, and offer rides, with built-in payment, identity verification, and a streamlined interface. 

Developed by a team of TalTech students with backgrounds in IT and business, TREK’s launch-ready platform will begin testing in early June. With early validation from the IGNITER Protoday competition, the team is now gearing up for its first marketing campaigns aimed at converting Facebook group users into loyal platform adopters. 

Members are Laur Palijenko, Henrik Jõesalu and Gregor Amelkin. 

In a world where companies seek talent and students seek purpose, Student Power bridges the gap. The platform connects schools and businesses through real-world strategic challenges, encouraging students to tackle meaningful tasks guided by teachers and mentored by professionals. Participants gain hands-on experience, career direction, and credentials – while companies benefit from early access to emerging talent. 

Having already designed its pilot framework, Student Power aims to launch in 10–15 Estonian schools and engage 30–50 companies by 2026. The team is also exploring expansion across the Baltics and Nordics through EU-backed education programs.  

Members are Rene Iliste and Nadezda Lunina. 

SafeSaw: Revolutionizing Workshop Safety 

Lumber and woodworking industries remain high-risk sectors for workplace injuries, often due to outdated or inadequate saw safety mechanisms. SafeSaw offers a compelling solution: a retrofit safety brake that halts a saw blade in milliseconds upon skin contact. The device works across brands and models, bringing life-saving potential to schools, small workshops, and industrial sites alike. 

With prototypes in development and a market launch slated for August, the team is engaging construction schools and tool manufacturers to bring their innovation to market. Their ambition is clear: set a new standard for saw safety globally. 

Members are Oliver Viidik, Patrik Kallast and Marten Lee. 

DAVAI: Don’t Stress, Play & Progress! 

With Estonia shifting to Estonian-only instruction across schools, thousands of Russian-speaking students are at risk of falling behind – especially in subjects like math and science where academic terminology is often unfamiliar. DAVAI is stepping up with a gamified micro-learning platform that helps students master subject-specific vocabulary in Estonian through interactive levels, quizzes, and friendly competition. 

Targeted at grades 4–9, the platform is free to start, with premium features available for schools and parents. Backed by interest from multiple schools and over 250 students and teachers, DAVAI recently won second place and the popular vote at Startup Weekend Tallinn 2025. The team is now preparing for classroom pilots and a wider rollout by early 2026. 

Members are Albert Boitsov, Ivan Vasilyev, Ivan Turapin, Hugo Mattias Mölder and Cristina Rits.
