Two robotics founders show how to make ideas big On December 10, robotics founders Markus Vorrath (HandsOn Robotics) and Jann Wawerek (Mana Robotics) will take you on their startup journey. Get a taste of startup life at dresden|exists and find out how ideas become real future technology.
At dresden|exists, we believe that the best ideas are born where curiosity meets a can-do spirit. That's exactly what Startup Sparks is all about - our event for everyone who wants to shape the future instead of just watching it happen.
On December 10, 2025, Jann Wawerek and Markus Vorrath will take you on their startup journey and show you how an initial idea becomes real future technology. Their robots cook and organize kitchens and relieve us of boring everyday tasks. You will find out how an idea is turned into a real start-up, what stumbling blocks lie along the way and why founding is one thing above all else: Idea, passion and good networks.
The speakers:
Jann Wawerek, CTO of Mana Robotics
Mana Robotics is developing the world's smallest autonomous cooking robot. With the aim of making everyday life smarter and making fresh, healthy cuisine possible everywhere.
Markus Vorrath, Co-Founder of Handson Robotics
