Accelerating ESG-related legal research technology
The ESG movement represents a unique opportunity to bring sustainability to the heart of our society, markets, and businesses. But due to the wide scope of application and continually changing regulatory landscape, many organizations are struggling to understand, anticipate and apply ESG principles to their operations and strategies. We want to change that. Partner with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, to build an AI-based application to automate the monitoring of enacted and planned ESG regulations in the area of real estate development!

How can a potential collaboration after the challenge look like?
Dentons is looking to offering promising Participants with the opportunity to further develop their ideas and solutions within the Firm’ infrastructure or as part of a partnership to be discussed as soon as the Finalists are selected. During the Elaboration Phase, the Challenge Finalists will work together with Dentons on their approaches and discuss their interests in possible further post-Program steps on an individual basis. Further collaboration and support programs may result and will be discussed in the course of the Elaboration Phase.
A stage-gate decision meeting with the Finalists and Dentons will take place during the Elaboration Phase of the Program. This meeting will be decisive for the Participants to pursue the Program and go to the finish line. As solutions presented by the Participants should have reached a certain degree of maturity at that point, preferential rights to negotiate, purchase and/or license the ideas and the solutions, shall be then granted by the Participants to Dentons by the end of a period of 12 months since the completion of the Program, to pave the way for a solid collaboration beyond the ekipa Program.
Dentons has a strong experience in partnering with startups and businesses to provide new solutions to both market and clients. We are happy to leverage this expertise with the winning team to best assess opportunities to meaningfully work together and find the most viable approach for a successful partnership.
Let’s make a change together for a more sustainable world!
