ICT4D.at goes Graz WSA young innovators festival 2025

Sadly, we had to forgo the ICT4D lecture of our members Paul and Anne in Vienna to join this event. Read up on that in a previous blog post.

It’s a yearly conference in Graz, one of the nicest and most innovative cities in Austria. The event focuses on European young innovators who try to make a meaningful business based on addressing the needs of their with a digital solution. This time around the hot topic was AI, so most of the teams used it to some degree at least. At least it seems like a more useful approach this time compared to the recent Blockchain hype that caused everyone to try to save the world using Blockchain technology…..

The projects ranged from helping blind people navigate the city, deaf people feeling music on festivals, a government chatbot to help people with questions about rules and regulations in and around their (new) city, niche businesses like a Uber-analogue for commercial vessel chartering, E-reading and AI audiobooks to get Macedonian kids connected to local language books, a Finnish “Tinder” for doing social good, a German based platform that helps young voters to navigate the political landscape and find candidates who align with their values and last but not least a Czech group who wants to use European space lasers to clean debris from orbit. They might have expected Paul Spiesberger to be there on the Jury, he would have waved a big Europe flag and given them some extra points.

The attendees were various, among them a big group of mostly international students from the FH Joanneum, many from Pakistan. The FH is doing a collaboration with the WSA on their university courses to integrate the students into real life business and startup culture early on. The student teams also had the task to analyze a chosen project and present their improvement ideas in a poster session workshop.

Other workshops included a breathing session to start the morning, a session on how to build your brand from the brand manager of the fairtrade chocolate company, Tony’s Chocolonely, and building your startup by playing with lego blocks.

The program ended as always with the gala being held inside the mountain below the castle of Graz. Things to expect: Speeches, Jazz music, beatboxing, and people having fun on the dancefloor.

My personal take is that one of the biggest and hardest to define factors in the social startup environment (or really any social club / NGO) is morale and the feeling of belonging to a community. You need a shared purpose, a common goal. You need to know that you’re not alone in the metaphorical boat far out at sea, struggling to make ends meet and get your business idea to a point where it’s profitable enough to support itself. Even if it’s just patting each other on the back sometimes, have fun and eat some good food with your group and say “well done” and “let’s go and f-ing do it” – that can have lasting positive effects when purpose and endurance are keys to success.

And to end the post (and year of 2025), let’s just copy the Finnish guy from the “Tinder for good” app Commu: Try to end the year with a good deed, be it with or without the app.
Cheers

Заменит ли WSA эмулятор Android Studio?

Ни для кого не секрет, что отладка Android приложения — это достаточно трудоёмкий процесс. Особенно если приложение должно быть адаптировано под разные размеры дисплеев и форм-факторы устройств. Приложение может быть запущено на смартфоне, планшете или складном устройстве. Кроме того, не стоит забывать, что иногда приложение может быть запущено в режиме изменяемого размера окна. Конечно, мы можем запретить подобное поведение в Manifest, но тогда мы получим не самый удобный опыт использования в desktop mode. Встроенный в Android Studio эмулятор позволяет создавать resizable эмулятор. Но пользоваться им мне показалось не очень удобным. Кроме того, если вы страдаете от нехватки ОЗУ, пользоваться встроенным эмулятором становиться трудно. В моём случае имеем машину с 8 Гб оперативной памяти на борту, и работа эмулятора сопровождается постоянными фризами и зависаниями. Однако недавно я нашёл решение – Windows Subsystem For Android (WSA). И несмотря на то, что поддержка проекта совсем скоро прекращается, всё работает довольно стабильно.
