Applicants also need to have interest and potential to grow on EU markets.

The main selection criteria will be:

-    Product innovativeness
-    Team commitment/ balanced skill set
-    Level of the product / technology development
-    Plans to expand international, particularly to European Markets

Maximum 12 teams will be selected to participate in the jointly developed acceleration program. Up to 2 teams will be selected on the demo day to travel to the Netherlands and spend 1 week at the Crosspring. They will learn more about the Dutch Business environment, as well as meet with potential clients and business partners.
