Business Challenge wave 4 open

Business Challenge wave 4 open

Do you have an innovative idea that contributes to the development of the Brainport Smart District? A concept, a product or service or a method that gives substance to the program lines of BSD (participation, mobility, health, data, circularity, social & safe and energy)? You can now submit your idea via the Business Challenge up to and including 29 February 2020.

The smartest neighborhood in the world
Brainport Smart District offers a platform and a platform to develop innovations and bring them to the market. This can be commercial products, but also initiatives from private individuals or other innovative ideas. The neighborhood is being developed together with future residents, companies, knowledge institutions and governments. These parties are already actively involved and have an important role in both the general development and the projects within BSD.

Platform and stage
Initiators who participate in the Business Challenge automatically become members of the Business Network. Companies and other initiators find each other in this to come up with new ideas and projects. New consortia and new projects have often emerged from this.

The initiatives that start as a project in BSD will also have an international stage in both media and business relationships. For example, projects are invited to participate in Smart City missions and companies / initiators are brought into contact with national and international media to talk about their innovation.

Contact
Do you have a question or comment regarding the Business Challenge? You can ask this via business@brainportsmartdistict.nl. On the Organization page you can also see which person is approachable on which subject and you will find contact details.
