The IOT/WT INNOVATION WORLD CUP is a melting pot of creative entrepreneurial minds ready to disrupt the IoT and Wearable markets: start-ups, developers and researchers, you name it, convinced that their ideas will be the industry’s next golden egg. But why do these entrepreneurs take part in such competitions?
“The Innovation World Cup enables you to make contacts you didn’t even know you needed!”
– Michael, Buddywatcher, Finalist WT IWC 2016/17
According to the startups, the main drivers to be part of the INNOVATION WORLD CUP are the unique networking and partnering opportunities, possibilities to present in front of different audiences and ability to learn from them. Would you like to boost your development?
“In building start-up ideas and moving from prototype concept to a real customer value proposition, it’s always helpful to present, obtain feedback, and iterate.
– Mark, Idezo GmbH, Finalist DM IWC 2016/17
The IOT/WT INNOVATION WORLD CUP enables connections with leading industry partners that might not be available or too costly to reach otherwise. It brings together audiences both from the start-up and corporate worlds across geographical borders and challenges people to step outside their comfort zone, interact with the market and face eye-opening learning experiences. For entrepreneurs, this is the key to make their way to the market. And the best part is that participation is FREE of charge.
“At the end of the presentation pitch, someone came up to Janne and said: ‘I want to buy your product straight away’”
– Ayaka, QuietOn, Finalist WT IWC 2016/17
