Several pitch-sessions at different stages of development of your idea are foreseen. To complement the pitch-sessions, true innovation showrooms will be organised.
By joining the JUMP programme, you will become a full member of the JUMP community. Meet your nine fellow participants and exchange on the progress of your respective ideas, brainstorm on new models and work on group projects. This will make you grow and network all at once.
