On October 9, the Icebreakers'20 student business opportunity festival took place in the Science House of the Academic Center of the University of Latvia (UL), where the main prize of 10,000 euros was shared by two teams - Aptolux (7000 EUR) and Ukiyo (3000 EUR). This year the festival took place in a virtual format.
The festival gathered a significant number of Latvian and foreign students to find inspiration and create new opportunities for cooperation, as well as to provide young professionals with tools to start their own business. The main theme of this year's festival was "New Reality", emphasizing the changing and unpredictable environment in which everyone could find their opportunities.
9 teams participated in the final competition for 10,000 EUR. This year, two teams took the lead: Aptolux, which will offer a new modular video lighting system to filmmakers, and the Ukiyo team, which is currently distributing but will also begin production, computer goggles that protect the eyes from the blue light emitted by digital devices.
