BNB Chain’s European Innovation Incubator Unveils Winners
The European Innovation Incubator, backed by 18 established partners, has reached a conclusion after receiving applications from all over the world.
The first program of its kind, a continent-wide campaign that drew in applications and held events in SEVEN key European cities, has been a resounding success for BNB Chain.
With more than 520 applications flooding in, 31 teams were eventually selected after three rounds of extensive review, and 8 winners identified after the Demo Day.. Exclusive VIP networking events were held in seven cities, allowing selected projects to benefit from exposure to industry leading expertise, local partners and prospective investors.
An Innovative Tour
The innovation on show was a testament to an entire continent’s determination to build a decentralized future. With VIP events in Lisbon, Barcelona, London, Warsaw, Berlin, Paris and Milan it has been a long road laden with excitement. The BNB Chain team was especially encouraged by the ability of the applicants to sketch out a tangible growth plan.
Once the 520 applications were whittled down to 31 participants, the selected teams embarked on a two-week curriculum whereby they benefited from tailored masterclasses offering guidance on how to refine and scale the exciting projects they were working on.
The program concluded with an exclusive demo day, where winners were chosen based on scores from Binance Labs, Binance Research, Polkastarter, Salus Security, Worldpay, MH Ventures and other partners.
What quickly became apparent through the demo day was the ability of expert professionals with hugely impressive experience (ex-Universal music, ex-Google, ex-Facebook) to outline the potential impact of their products.
There were clear practical use cases stemming from experience working with AI Robotics (Mollia, founders are Pyschology and Mathematics PHDs), deploying scientific sourcing (Scisets, founders are Cambridge PHDs), and being comfortable with IP Management (IPxyz, founders are from Universal music).
Other important benefits that general users could see as a result of the aforementioned innovation revolve around the health industry. With hospital data application a clear focus for innovators, public health sectors could be set to benefit from refined data-privacy measures.
