  2. What were the highlights of this first Mind & Market Forum in Luxembourg? What was the most positive aspect of this forum for you and for your project?

    Events such as the Mind & Market Forum are essential to promote innovative ideas. The first edition of the forum was very well organized and allowed entrepreneurs to connect with investors and business mentors.

     

  3. In the two months following the Forum, what feedback did you receive from the Luxembourg market and businesses?What are your project’s immediate needs? (Contacts, funds, advertising, networking, co-working spaces?)

    As the winner of the first edition of the Mind & Market forum, we got extensive coverage by the national media. This allowed us to promote our spin-off activities and get in touch with potential investors. The next steps consist in raising new funds and continue with the development of our product.

     

  4. Where do you see your idea / project / start-up in five years? How do you envision the future of innovation in Luxembourg in five years?

    Our goal over the next five years is to expand our activities internationally and become a major player in the telematics business. It is our belief that Luxembourg will become an attractive hub for innovation in Europe. There is still some way to go but we are on the right track!
