Sandbox Program

A sandbox project is an innovative program designed to facilitate collaboration between established corporations and startups. In this controlled environment, both parties focus on a specific challenge, leveraging the agility and innovative mindset of startups and the resources and industry expertise of corporations. Over a period of 4 months, this collaboration aims to develop a tangible Proof of Concept (POC), demonstrating the viability of the solution to the identified challenge. This process not only accelerates innovation but also provides a practical framework for testing and refining ideas in a real-world setting.

Deadline to apply : July 15th
Announcement of the 10 selected startups : August 15th
Program : From October 15th (Kickoff) to January 14th

The 16-weeks of acceleration consist of:
