Made in Wroclaw 2025 was a milestone for our team. We won the main Tech Contest award and presented ValidLabels in a short, high-pressure format to a large audience.
The award was important, but the bigger takeaway was product signal: practical compliance-focused products can be both technically credible and commercially compelling.
Why ValidLabels stood out
ValidLabels solves a concrete operational pain: producing multilingual, regulation-aligned labels quickly and reliably.
That value is immediate for manufacturers and distributors:
- less manual effort,
- lower compliance risk,
- faster delivery cycles.
In pitch environments, concrete workflow value consistently outperforms abstract AI narratives.
What we learned from the stage
Three-minute formats force clarity. You must explain clearly:
- what problem you solve,
- who you solve it for,
- why your approach creates stronger outcomes.
That discipline translates directly into better product execution.
Ecosystem value
Made in Wroclaw also highlighted the strength of the local ecosystem. Bringing founders, experts, institutions, and investors together creates practical momentum for startups ready to scale.
Awakast perspective
For us, this award increases responsibility. We want to keep building products that are:
- measurable in outcomes,
- transparent in delivery,
- reliable in production conditions.
That is exactly how we approach client work as well.
