Costvise Selected as National Finalist at Red Bull Basement Austria 2026

“When an idea moves the world.” That is the motto of Red Bull Basement Austria 2026 — and that is exactly the context we are now part of.

Top 10 in Austria

Out of numerous submissions from across Austria, we are among the ten teams that have made it into the National Final. For us, this is a significant moment and a clear signal that our approach is resonating. Decision intelligence for health and social care is not just a technological topic. It is one that society genuinely needs.

April 29, 2026 in Graz

On April 29, we will take the stage at the Unicorn Startup & Innovation Hub in Graz and present our idea to a top-class jury. The jury includes Dominic Thiem, Victoria Neuhofer, Georg Leitgeb, and Christian Dotzauer.

Red Bull Basement is hosted in collaboration with Microsoft and AMD, providing AI tools, mentors, and a global platform. The winner will represent Austria at the World Final in San Francisco, with the chance to win 100,000 US dollars to bring their idea to life.

Why This Moment Matters to Us

For us, this is a major step. And I am honestly very proud of what Liria Binaku and I have built and achieved together to get here. From the first concept to the National Final lies an intense path, shaped by countless conversations, critical questions, and one clear conviction.

That conviction is this: decisions in health and social care deserve a better foundation than static reports and isolated data silos.

What Health and Social Care Is Really About

In health and social care, decisions are made every day that determine costs, capacity utilization, and — above all — how people are cared for. And yet, many of these decisions are still based on static specifications, isolated systems, and manual processes.

The result is a lack of transparency about what is actually happening. Over- and understaffing is often only recognized when it is already too late. Systems react instead of actively steering. This reality is not exclusively an Austrian challenge. It is a global one.

The Consequences Reach Far Beyond Numbers

The consequences of this structural gap show up not only in numbers, but in the stability of care systems and in the daily lives of the people who depend on them. This is exactly where Costvise comes in. We connect fragmented data, make relationships visible, and translate complexity into clear, traceable decision foundations.

For us, decision intelligence does not mean another dashboard. It means a fundamentally new way of preparing economic and care-related decisions.

What Will Happen on April 29

We will present our vision to a jury that has achieved extraordinary things in their respective fields. For us, it is not only about winning. It is about making visible an idea that can drive real change in one of the most important areas of our society.

We Look Forward to What Comes Next

Regardless of the outcome, being selected for the National Final is already a confirmation that data-driven decision intelligence in health and social care is a topic that is being heard. We approach April 29 with clarity, focus, and a great deal of anticipation.
