On February 15, we had the pleasure of hosting the PIER4 Pitching Session at the Primetals premises. 7 innovative startups from Austria and Germany presented their ideas to around 50 dedicated participants.
The session was opened with a warm welcome by Senior Vice President Purkathofer and Managing Director Raphael Friedl.
