The winners of the international molecular startup competition for Europe, Africa and India, organised by Incubateur Descartes partnering with Technoport from Luxembourg, Atal Incubation Centre-Aartech, IIM Calcutta Innovation Park & SRIX (SR Innovation Exchange) from India and Innovus & Afrilabs from Africa, as well as Orange France, were announced on December 1st. The beginning of a new adventure for the winning trio!
Inspired by Jérôme Chifflet’s concept of molecular start-ups, this competition aimed to match startups and/or SMEs in the same sector and developing similar products and services. Thus aggregated, these startups, which address the same market, can bring together their product or service, create a new one, grow rapidly and avoid competition.
Education technologies in the spotlight
After analysing 40 applications from Europe, Africa, India and a very difficult selection, we are very happy to announce the winning trio of our molecular startup initiative!
The winners, in the field of Education Technologies, will receive support for matching and co-innovation plus a travel allowance to move on to the next steps.
