After the deadline, Steag Iqony will review all applications and select their favourite teams for the shortlist. These teams will have the opportunity to meet Steag Iqony in a virtual "Get-to-Know" session. Following this, up to three teams will be chosen for the PoC Phase and invited to the Collaboration Kickoffs.
PoC Phase: Starting with Kickoffs
1-2 weeks after the finalist announcement, each finalist will engage in a kickoff session with Steag Iqony aimed at refining approaches and laying the groundwork for a co-creation journey together in the PoC Phase. The session will be guided by open innovation experts from ekipa. Attendance is mandatory.
In the PoC phase you will adapt and refine your approaches in close collaboration with Steag Iqony, establishing the groundwork for a potential long-term partnership. Realize and validate a concrete PoC together with Steag Iqony to demonstrate the potential impact of your solution. Based on defined criteria, you’ll co-develop the PoC and submit a proposal for possible follow-up models (e.g. pilot, purchase, co-development).
Demo Day – one day (tbd)
Present the results of the joint PoC phase, as well as the proposal of a concrete offer for a follow-up model. The Demo Day brings together decision-makers and management representatives from Steag Iqony to jointly discuss the outcomes and assess continuation options in depth.
Decision Phase
After the Demo Day, a decision phase, which lasts about two weeks, takes place in which Steag Iqony examines the specific offers for a long-term collaboration and then decides to enter into a concrete collaboration. At this point, ekipa supports both sides in the decision-making process.
