On December 10, 2025, the Demo Day event took place, serving as a landmark moment dedicated to showcasing innovative projects developed by students, which demonstrated creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical solutions to real-world societal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd47 1st Place \u2013 FoodMate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team: Dutu Alexandru \u0218tefan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FoodMate project tackles one of the most pressing global issues: food waste. The proposed solution is an intelligent application that uses artificial intelligence to monitor household food items, predict expiration dates, and recommend optimal consumption solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the application connects users with local merchants offering products nearing their expiration date at discounted prices, creating benefits for both consumers and businesses. In this way, FoodMate helps reduce waste, optimize costs, and promote responsible and sustainable consumption habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd48 2nd Place \u2013 Find Your Essence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team: Antonia-Patrisia Toth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Your Essence is an innovative web platform that helps users identify the perfect fragrance based on their personality and olfactory preferences. Through an interactive questionnaire, the application analyzes users\u2019 responses and provides personalized recommendations, along with the option to make a direct purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept adds significant value to the perfumery industry by combining technology with a personalized shopping experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd49 3rd Place \u2013 Ecological Cat Litter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team: Bara Timeea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ecological Cat Litter startup offers a sustainable alternative for pet care by importing and selling in Romania a cat litter made from natural tapioca, which is fully biodegradable and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market entry is planned through established online platforms, with a later expansion into specialized retail. The company will manage the import, branding, and marketing of the product, targeting consumers seeking premium and eco-friendly solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 Creativity Award \u2013 Lemoneria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team: Iacob Francesco Fiorello<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creativity Award was given to the Lemoneria project, a fresh and appealing concept that offers a space dedicated to serving lemonades, cocktails, and refreshing beverages made from premium ingredients. The idea stands out for its visual identity, the experience it provides to customers, and its potential to become an urban hotspot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
