Are you a pioneer passionate about improving life through new products and services? Do you want to turn your company into an innovative business? Are you developing new products or services? We challenge you to take the next brave step and turn your innovative ideas into new business. We’re there to support you when you make this step through the Innovation Challenge Haaglanden.
During one evening (16.00 – 21.30) on the 21th of June pioneers will be guided through the different stages of the process of turning an idea into business with the help of several experts. This day is set up together with ABN AMRO, Chamber of Commerce, Syntens, ESA Business Incubation Centre and BViT. The Innovation Challenge is organized 4 times a year. This first event takes place in The Hague. The Innovation Challenge offers a ‘pressure cooker’ method, developed by XLX, to accelerate business model development around daring new ideas. This way the involved partners help to overcome typical challenges connected to bringing innovative ideas to the market.
What’s there to win and gain?
Typically, like a management game, the training will bring you accelerated learning for your team by learning from the guided process of developing the idea into a pitch-ready venture. Your team will in essence develop the basics of a business plan and integrate knowledge and experience from the available experts. Last but not least, the Innovation Challenge has competitive elements. Based on the performance ánd the pitch for investors, one team will be rewarded with a support package to realize the new business. The winning team will be rewarded with 6 months guidance from a coach (12 hrs) and virtual experts and a year membership of BViT innovation network.
