What is BIND 4.0 GovTech?
Via BIND 4.0 GovTech, young companies will face the technological challenges of government organizations through open innovation projects. The selected startups will be able to implement their solutions in real environments, collaborating with one or more public sector companies in the Basque Country.
The BIND 4.0 team has identified 6 challenges currently faced by the participating public organizations: EJIE (IT & Digitisation), EVE (Basque Energy Agency), HAZI Fundazioa (Agriculture, Fisheries & Food), IHOBE (Environmental Management), RPTE (Technology Park Network) and Spri (Business Development Agency).
This new initiative offers startups the opportunity to work on real projects in response to the challenges identified. The selected startups get a reference client in the public sector and access to training to be competitive in the sales process to the public administration.
