These projects aren’t just aiming to help the partners of the Hubs; they are working on solutions for current challenges in politics, society and the economy within the framework of programs, digital events and accelerators. Here’s an overview of our Hub’s activities:
Corona Chatbot
BOTfriends, a participating startup of our Pitch Night 2020 and part of the Digital Hub Nuremberg/Erlangen, has developed a chatbot for questions and answers about the coronavirus. The chatbot is for residents of the city of Würzburg, Schweinfurt, the Chambers of Industry and Commerce and the Mainfranken region, and can be found on their websites.
