The Boldbrain Startup Challenge announced its winners this week. The overall winner of the Ticino competition was Orchestra, a startup company from Massagno in the canton of Ticino. It is working on a solution to facilitate the work of rescue and protection services.
Alarms are often sent manually by phone while vital information is processed with pen and paper. Orchestra is digitalizing these processes to make them more efficient.
