A limited amount of startups can sign up for our first workshop, called ‘Test Like the Best.’ After this, a small number startups will be selected to join two additional workshops in which they will prepare their test case, working side by side with one of our test experts, to create their best test case. After the third workshop, two startups will receive a test spot at one of the international festivals that are affiliated with us, such as EurosonicNoorderslag, Lowlands and Into The Great Wide Open. We are specifically looking for startups who develop innovations to make the festival sector and cultural industry more sustainable. Think of solutions for waste management, water and energy.

Innofest offers startups and scale-ups the opportunity to test prototypes at living labs, giving them a kickstart to their success. By validating key assumptions in an early phase, startups increase the chances of success with their innovation and gain crucial evidence for investors or launching customers.

Since its inception in 2016, Innofest has guided more than 200 test cases in this way at festivals and living labs. We do this using our own validated test methodology. For more information, download our whitepaper where this methodology is defined.
