On 30 October 2026 Christiane Hoffmann of WEGVISOR, who is also a shareholder of 4SeedImpact GmbH, was again a member of the jury in the TUClab competition at TU Chemnitz – for the second time after 2025. At the 9th competition, six finalist teams pitched to the jury in the university's MAIN building.
The TUClab competition is a joint initiative of Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB) and TU Chemnitz. Since 2018 it has supported founders from Saxony on their way to their own company without red tape. Up to three start-ups can each receive up to 300,000 euros in seed funding – as an equity investment by Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft (SBG).
- Hybeam GmbH (Leipzig) – mixed-reality software for hybrid workshops and training
- Implix GmbH (Lichtentanne) – a verifiable digital twin of a company's knowledge
- SpeakSphere GmbH (Dresden) – an offline-capable AI agent system for teaching and training in up to 25 languages
The jury included representatives from business, politics and academia, among them State Secretary Prof. Dr. Heike Graßmann of the Saxon Ministry of Science and Prof. Dr. Thomas von Unwerth, Vice-Rector for Transfer and Continuing Education at TU Chemnitz.
