For some project teams, this might well be the first time they get up on stage and share their prototype with a wider audience. Others are well versed in talking about their product. But for all, this is the end of an intense journey together as part of the UNLOCK Accelerator, as well as the beginning of a much longer ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For three months, with the help of coachings and input from experts, the group has been pushing to bring their initial project ideas to life. Each project offers a concrete and scalable solution to this year\u2019s challenge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/unlock-site\/unlock\/program\/#focus\">(re)building trust in the digital age<\/a>. No easy task, but each team has been working hard with their sleeves rolled up and a willingness to get their hands dirty in a short period of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finally, at the virtual Demo Day on October 6th <em>the teams will present their prototypes, and you are invited to join<\/em>!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-small\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Be the first to get an inside glimpse of their solutions, meet the teams and be inspired by their products!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When: <em>Wednesday, October 6th, 2021<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Time: <em>4:00pm &#8211; 5:30pm CEST<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Where: <em>online<\/em> at<a href=\"http:\/\/wikimedia.de\/unlock\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/unlock-site\/unlock\/\">wikimedia.de\/unlock\/ <\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-button-large\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/unlock-site\/unlock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Join the online event here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The event link will follow shortly.

Subsequently, each team will showcase their prototype in more depth on different (parallel) stages. You will have the chance to move through the digital space in two rounds similar to a virtual gallery walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who will be presenting at Demo Day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All five teams that were selected for the program will be present at the Demo Day and will click us through their prototypes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/unlock-site\/unlock\/projects\/\">More information on them and their visions can be found here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can join?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The UNLOCK Demo Day is open to all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I share the invite with someone else who is interested in meeting the teams?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do, the more the merrier!
