We are convinced that innovation and strong regional ecosystems are drivers of change and essential for certain transitions, such as the transition to a bio-based & circular economy, or to industry 4.0.

That is why we use challenges to connect the needs & wishes of large companies with the innovative prowess of SMEs/start-ups. But we do more than that: with intensive guidance from the programme team and proven methodologies, we maximise the chances of successful collaborations.

In the end, the goal is to develop concrete solutions and stimulate transitions together.
