SynchUp!&#8217;s starting point is a large company&#8217;s request for a (circular-)technical solution to an existing problem. SMEs and start-ups can submit their idea or solution and earn an innovation contract; the key to concrete cooperation with a corporate and a comprehensive system of funding and support. A \u20ac10,000 voucher is available for the development of a pilot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenging issues from big names<\/strong><br \/>\nThe large companies with a challenge are all three resounding names: Philips, Vanderlande and Fokker.<br \/>\nPhilips is looking for a smart solution to purify liquid helium from MRI scanners on site and then reuse it. Vanderlande wants to valorise old conveyor belts in a useful way and <a href=\"https:\/\/synchup.nl\/en\/challenge\/remove-store-and-return-dismantled-aircraft-seats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fokker<\/a> hopes to find a partner through SynchUp! that can help them in their logistics challenge regarding aircraft seats. Three challenging issues for which the innovative power of SMEs and start-ups is most welcome.<br \/>\nIn SynchUp!, by the way, those parties are not just brought together. By providing intensive guidance and applying proven methodologies, SynchUp! maximises the chances of success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br \/>\nSynchUp! is derived from the successful BioVoice project. Since 2019, BioVoice opened up challenges, all around biobased\/circular innovation issues. The handsome result so far: 54 concrete cooperation projects between large companies and SMEs\/start-ups. These partners are now working together, some still on a pilot scale, others already towards further upscaling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadline 3 November 17:00<\/strong><br \/>\nThe opening period of the three challenges ends on 3 November, 17:00h. Before then, interested SMEs and start-ups, as well as scientists, can find all the necessary information and submit their pitch on this website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parties behind SynchUp!<\/strong><br \/>\nSynchUp! is an initiative of REWIN West-Brabant. For these challenges REWIN cooperates with Aviolanda, BOM, Port of Moerdijk, Municipality of Breda, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, PNO Consultants, Province of North Brabant and Region of West-Brabant. The aim of the cooperating partners: to offer SMEs and start-ups serious innovation and business opportunities, and to accelerate and monetize new knowledge and\/or technology. For a stronger circular economy and tech sector in the regions involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 14 September, innovation &#038; business booster SynchUp! opened up three challenges.
