Demola Academy Graduation

Demola Academy celebrated its first graduating class in the end of January. After a half year of work, the teams, partners, facilitators and the closest network and supporters gathered together for a party in Finlayson, Tampere. The keynote of the event, Otto Chrons from Microtask, gave new ideas to the teams, introducing the possibilities in crowdsourcing.

The most anticipated event of the night was the final pitching competition with eight previously selected teams. They were voted into the final by their peers, other Demola Academy teams. A jury of key actors in the industry chose a winner from a great group of quality pitches from variety of mobile applications and other media productions.
