Frequently Asked Questions
Innovation Challenges are structured projects through which companies launch a clear innovation request, select qualified solutions, and initiate real collaborations with new technology partners.
Through a Challenge, a corporate manager or entrepreneur publishes a clear innovation request. If your solution meets the stated requirements, you can apply to be evaluated and, if selected, gain access to a 1-to-1 exploratory demo with the requesting company.
This is not a simple call for ideas — it is a structured process designed to generate real connections and tangible commercial opportunities.
Any innovative company whose solution aligns with the needs and requirements defined by the requesting company can apply.
To submit your application, you must:
Be registered on the Innovation Match platform
Complete the (free) registration process
Accurately fill in your innovative solution profile
Registration is free, but completing your profile thoroughly is essential.
Why is this important?
If the requesting company finds your solution relevant, you will receive a connection request via your Innovation Match profile.
Within the connection request, you will find:
The name of the requesting company
Information about the requesting manager
Proposed dates for the exploratory demo
Submitting your application to a Challenge is free.
A fee of €249 applies only if:
The requesting company selects your solution
You receive a connection request
The fee is therefore linked to a qualified match and direct access to a potential client.
If the requesting company does not find a fit in your proposed solution and does not send you a connection request, you will not incur any cost.
For innovative companies subscribed to an Innovation Match PRIME or Sales+ plan, applying to Challenges is always free.
The identity of the requesting company will be disclosed when you receive the connection request through the platform.
Our team will provide you with:
The company name
Information about the requesting manager
Proposed dates for the demo
Innovative companies subscribed to PRIME or Sales+ plans may receive information about the requesting company before submitting their application.
