A 3rd place at the World Cup deserves a proper celebration—and that's exactly what we did on Saturday, November 9th, together with our members, advisors, partners, and alumni.

After an inspiring feedback session where our advisors provided valuable advice and ideas to the projects, we gathered in the cozy Kulturküche. There, Lara and Marike guided us through the evening with reports from the National Cup, the preparation for the World Cup, and, of course, our experiences in Kazakhstan. A festive trophy presentation was also a highlight.

A very special thank you went out to some of our advisors and alumni who significantly contributed to the success of this World Cup through their active support: Jörg, Mira, Michi, Frank, Philipp, Robin, Hana, Alma, Eldar, and Julia—without you, we wouldn't have made it.

After enjoying our World Cup presentation live one last time, we moved on to thank our World Cup team. Our speakers Arun, Eric, Lara, and Selina moved not only us but also the jury and the entire audience to standing ovations with their presentation. Our video team, Julian and Andrea, spent countless nights editing the 12-minute presentation video. And Tessa and Alex, as World Cup team leaders, coordinated all the preparations over the last three and a half months and secured this impressive placement for us.

We concluded the evening at the buffet, reminiscing about the World Cup in conversations with our advisors and alumni. Overall, it was a fantastic evening that beautifully wrapped up our experiences at the World Cup 2024.

A big thank you also to our sponsors and partners who made this trip financially possible: Consileon, the KIT Founders Forge, the City of Karlsruhe, and 4L Vision—thank you!
