PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS, 17 CHALLENGES SET FOR INNOVATIVE STARTUPS

 

As the BIND 4.0 Open Innovation Platform expands its services and sectors, the new business opportunities for tech startups expand as well. This January, we are proud to announce the Startup Open Call for two BIND 4.0 programs, the new GovTech initiative and the 2nd edition of the SME Connection. These exciting startup initiatives offer market validation with industrial SMEs or within the public sector, through paid innovation projects along with networking & visibility in the local business ecosystem. 

 

A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS, BIND 4.0 SME CONNECTION

 

The 28 SMEs that form the second edition of the BIND 4.0 SME Connection are active members of 6 Basque Business and Cluster Management Organizations and leaders of reference in their sector. The members identify a series of common industry challenges that directly affect their businesses. The goal for startups is to respond to these sector-led challenges through the development of innovative projects. 

Entering its second year, this program offers multiple benefits to Startups including positioning in the marketplace, product validation in SME companies, and reference clients within the Basque Industrial Ecosystem.
