FAQ
You can apply to as many challenges as you want. However, avoid engaging in more conversations with corporates than you can realistically manage.
We encourage a qualitative rather than a quantitative approach. You are more likely to receive a response from a corporate if your application is tailored, specific, and clearly demonstrates the value of your solution. A selective and well-prepared approach generally delivers better results than applying broadly.
The specifications of each challenge are already published on our Matching Platform.
You can request a meeting to further explore how your solution could fit, but this depends on the corporate’s interest and availability.
Corporates typically receive a high volume of messages and meeting requests. To increase your chances of getting a response, clearly articulate the added value your solution brings and why it is relevant to their specific challenge.
Corporates receive a large number of messages and may not respond unless they clearly see a strong fit. Note that applying to a challenge does not guarantee a response.
You are welcome to contact us directly. If you are an eligible startup, we will try to identify alternative matching opportunities for you.
In your message, please include:
• The challenges you want to apply to
• A short description of your digital solution (including your website URL)
• Your unique value proposition for addressing the challenge.
