We were at the HIT in Barcelona last week. During the three days, the event gathered gurus, investors and entrepreneurs to learn the latest trends in (presumably) IT innovation and its role as the way out of the global economic crisis.

As part of the event, the Global Entrepreneurship Competition was held, gathering 28 projects from 21 countries. People think more into the nano and genetic technologies direction. Still, we gave our votes (you have 2 000 000 eurohits that you decide where to invest)  for a web project. And it actually has won

The winners of the 90,000 EUR awards are:

* Bmat, Spain (1st) our choice – a search engine for music.
* The Broccoli Project, South Africa (2nd) social network awarding people, who do public work
* Polyskin, India (3rd) – easy to create artificial skin curing quickly burnings wounds.
* Echopixel Techonologies, Mexico (Best Presentation) on-field body scan analysis
* The Broccoli Project (Best Social Value).

It was cool to mingle amongst some young people from the industry of global IT innovation. We saw the direction, we have heard some nice pitches, we enjoyed it very much. And we ensured ourselves one more time, favit is in the very center of what is about to come…
