InoCrowd speeded up search for startups to pitch at VINCI booth at the Web Summit!
Web Summit, Lisbon, November 9th, 2017.
Dear Friends,
Work, events, meetings, personal and family issues have kept me from blogging and keeping you posted of mine and InoCrowd’s activities!
I cannot simply not telling you about Web Summit and InoCrowd’s VINCI Challenge:
In merely 18 days, InoCrowd platform found 50 solvers, of which 33 applicants of a proposed solution to “re-enchant VINCI Airports”.
10 startups were chosen and got to pitch at VINCI booth in Web Summit!
10 excellent ideas to improve airport experience for travellers, but also attendees, employees, etc., all of VINCI Airports’ customers.
The next day, the winner of the competition was designated. Besides the 5,000.00€ prize, this startup will integrate VINCI Airports' acceleration program, with the prospect of developing a pilot experimentation of their services or products in real conditions on an airport of VINCI’s network.
InoCrowd is a win-win business innovation platform!
How else do you think this would have been possible if it were not InoCrowd’s capacity to connect with investigators at universities, research centres, startups, spinoffs all over the world?
The Web Summit was both exciting and productive.
It was an eventful week!
We had many visitors at our booth in the START exhibiting area.
I’ve met with investors, listened to interesting world-class speakers, got to know interesting startups, and many solvers have registered in InoCrowd Platform.
I must add two more words about the Web Summit.
The Web Summit is no mere technological trade and vanity fair; it is not a science fiction exhibition of unreal animated stuff and futuristic gadgets!
Mark my words, it is really an extraordinary significant and historic occasion, where more than 1200 committed scientists, thinkers, legal and regulatory experts, social and communication researchers meet, evaluate, balance and publicly speak out their views and discuss the present and future of technology, information, social media, artificial intelligence, and other actual pending issues of today’s world!
In the meantime, several InoCrowd challenges, important companies, both national and international are awaiting innovative solutions.
Have you checked InoCrowd Platform to know if a challenge in your research field is active at InoCrowd.com.pt? Maybe you will be the next winner, and help a relevant company to innovate and solve a challenging problem!
Go register as a solver and submit your proposed solution!
Knowledge takes you far, and reality turns out to be more of an adventure, specially to those who dare imagine new out-of-the-box ideas that open doors to the future, in each of InoCrowd challenges.
And there’s a huge crowd of solvers for every single innovation problem to solve!
Kind regards,
Soraya Gadit
