RegioQuest got the first star!

Our group is pleased to receive the first star for the concept of “RegioQuest” within the scope of the “Südwestfalen Regionale 2025”. ReqioQuest aims to combine location-based services with game elements to make the job and training search for young people more interactive and motivating.

The award of the first star rewards as a first step the concept of a highly innovative idea. Thus, the foundation for a successful funding is laid.

We are delighted about this award and are now developing a detailed realization and a finance concept along with our project partners to receive the remaining two stars and enable the launch of the project.
