Some quotes from the project submitters:

 "From now on, our pneumatic post boxes will transport goods in the hospital of the future with virus protection". 
Peter Friedrich, business unit manager pneumatic tube systems and transport robots Ing. Sumetzberger GmbH

"The state-ordered closures of sports facilities in connection with the rapidly spreading novel corona virus meant that athletes were no longer allowed to visit their sports studios and sports providers lost their entire work base and turnover at a stroke. In close cooperation with our partner studios, we have developed an integrated solution for online class streaming that enables them to at least partially maintain studio operations even in times of "social distancing". 
Hanno Lippitsch, CEO and founder Eversports

"Our Covid-19 Crowd Printing combines the capacity of over 800 private 3D printers into one large distributed factory. This enables us to produce thousands of face shields for doctors' offices, pharmacies or grocery stores within a few days. In the next step, we want to produce high-quality respirators for hospital staff in this way. We are working intensively with hospital operators to design the masks, and the first prototypes are already finished. 
Roland Stelzer, founder and managing director of Happylab GmbH

"With the new holiday offer app, Viennese children know what's going on in summer. For example, we use virtual points to collect. Through this gamification element, children are encouraged to actively participate instead of passive consumption." 
Michaela Amort, project manager at datenwerk innovationsagentur

"This year more children will stay in Vienna during the holidays than ever before. It is therefore essential that parents know what activities are taking place and can trust that their children will be well looked after.
"Wolfgang Zeglovits, managing director at datenwerk innovationsagentur
