How does a challenge work?

Find here all the information you need about ennomotive innovation challenges

A challenge is the expression of a problem or business need in search of technological solutions or disruptive business models. Challenges allow companies, experts and technology startups to collaborate in the co-creation of new, more efficient and sustainable disruptive products and services. They also offer opportunities to carry out pilots jointly, sign commercial agreements and contracts.

If you are a company and you have a challenge

Connect with thousands of bright professionals from all over the world to solve your technology challenges. They will help you with your innovation initiatives such as product cost optimization, manufacturing productivity, energy and water efficiency, and more.

Describe your challenges in a way that can be well understood by the community members and assess their submissions.

ennomotive will help you properly formulate your challenges, establish the prize and be there for you throughout the entire process. In fact, we provide feedback to submissions and take an active role during the evaluations.

A challenge might have multiple rounds. At the end of each round, you will decide whose submissions will move on to the next round and continue competing. Finally, you decide who the winner is!
