Participants were asked to propose solutions to challenges posed by companies in three sectors—healthcare, finance, and agriculture—with the potential to develop into startups.
As the entrepreneurs progressed through the various stages—during which they received training in CIE workshops on how to present their ideas—11 were selected for support in their development and pre-incubation: three solutions aimed at the finance sector, three at healthcare, and five at agriculture.
The winners earned the right to present to the Da Vinci Foundation’s Incubation Committee. If admitted, they will be eligible for a grant from ANII (National Agency for Research and Innovation).
