The Aggregator 2020

EU-India Incubator Network members (Incubateur Descartes – France, Technoport – Luxembourg, AIC-Aartech – India, IIM Calcutta Innovation Park – India, and SRiX – India) have joined forces with African incubators in the Africa-Europe Innovation Partnership network and launched a call for an application called the molecular start-up initiative - International Start-up vs Covid-19 Matchmaking Competition between Europe, Africa and India.

This competition is designed to identify, reward, and promote innovative start-ups and SMEs interested in expanding to Europe, India or Africa, to be matched to each other and join forces to become a molecular-startup. A molecular start-up is an association of different start-ups to form only one. The main goal is to increase their growth and give them many opportunities in the international market. The selected start-ups will be matched based on having the same maturity in terms of development, similar or complementary products or services, or the same targeted market!

The 3 matched companies with the highest potential of becoming molecular start-ups will win a travel allowance to the other region.

We highly encourage that you share this opportunity with your relevant portfolio-startups so that they can apply! The application deadline is October 30th!

  •  #7 Affordable and Clean Energy
  •  #8 Decent work and economic growth
