brainboost connects the alps – together with several start-ups from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we gathered inspiration for a social future at “Red Bull Amaphiko – Connects the Alps”.
Together with 12 other teams and innovators, we were selected from over 100 applicants to collect ideas for a more sustainable social world. Social entrepreneurship is a model for the future, because we already know today: we can improve the world. With smart concepts, exciting social products and committed people.
What does entrepreneurship have to do with mountaineering? Legendary alpinist Stefan Glowacz told us in a talk about his expeditions in the Himalayas and Antarctica: “Summits are a clearly defined goal, the epitome of challenge, and the more clearly a goal is defined, the more concretely you can pursue it.” He motivated us to set ourselves new summits and to always keep our goals clearly in mind.
Workshops on storytelling, social media, how to deliver the perfect pitch and what a team needs and what makes it tick gave us a lot of new input and food for thought on the business side of the weekend.
But meditation, yoga, live music, delicious local organic food and an alpine hike were also on the programme. After all, a bright mind needs, first and foremost, a healthy body. After three days, we felt energised and full of new ideas and inspiration.
