Lectures and Workshops
Dear directors, professors and teachers,
we are pleased to announce that the management of Tec-Innovation GmbH also gives lectures for university courses/classes as well as special subjects.
With our diverse educations and experiences, we form an ideal team as managing directors of a start-up that develops an intelligent shoe for obstacle detection.
Kevin Pajestka (year 1993)
After a short stint at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien (Biomedical engineering), he founded a business with social impact from his HTL diploma thesis.
As the person responsible for R&D, he now manages the development as well as cooperations and collaborations with non-university research institutions.
Mag. Markus Raffer (year 1990)
After graduating from the Commercial Academy, he completed his law studies at the age of 23. He became aware of Kevin Pajestka and his start-up during a judicial clerkship and he is now responsible for the economic and legal side of the company. The fact that he is almost blind (residual vision below three percent) contributes significantly to the product development.
