After the end of the deadline, the submissions will be reviewed by the challenge provider. The final teams of every challenge will be selected and invited to participate in the Collaborarion KickOffs. We will inform you via mail. Check the timeline.

To ensure the selection of the most suitable partner, we've structured our process into two comprehensive phases. These phases are designed to evaluate both the expertise and personal compatibility vital for a project of this magnitude. This approach not only empowers the challenge provider to assess the ability and synergy of potential partners for such a pivotal endeavor but also affords you a unique opportunity to gain insights from established corporate entities and evaluate your direction for a lasting collaboration.

Your participation is not binding until you submit the Submission Template, and the submission phase ends. You can always withdraw your submission before the deadline. Once you have uploaded your submission and you want to take part, please consider the timeline and be aware that you should be able to participate in every further step.
