weACT wins Zurich HUB kickSTART competition

The startup weACT brings together people to experiment with changing behaviours. weACT provides a framework that allows people to easily set goals, and at the same time providing a fun and enjoyable environment. People can take part in so called Challenges supported by an online platform which allow them to set their own goals and to experience what a sustainable behaviour feels like. – Since we all remain children deep inside the gaming aspect of weACT’s approach is particularly attractive, collecting points always seems to be a major incentive. Thus far, already 420 people at ETH Zurich (launching grounds) have taken the weACT challenge and increased their awareness that they can make a difference.

weACT won the Zurich HUB kickSTART competition and got a free HUB Unlimited membership for six month and access to the to the HUB Fellowship connection program.

weACT was not the only winner at the competition. SwissLeg, an impressive startup offering affordable artificial legs for developing countries, won a wild card to participate in the finals of the Future Impact Prize with CHF 25k prize money at the prestigious Partnering for Global Impact conference in Lugano on July 9, 2012
