Grand Final11 December 2020

BoostUp! Grand Final is the final step of a 3-month longride which started on 23 September in Darmstadt & whichled us to San Sebastian, Gothenburg, Vienna and Milan.Within the BoostUp! adventure and with over 190applications, discovered the outstanding ideas in multipletechnology domains such as AI, Digital Twins and 3Dprinting.

We have awarded our regional finalists with a supportservice package allowing them to leverage in 2021 EITManufacturing capabilities to address their business needs. Now, the time has come to see the best of the bestpresenting their ideas in BoostUp! Grand Final on 11December!

The GRAND FINAL Winners will be awarded with a financialprize in CREATE & ACCELERATE categories, on top ofthe services package. A Jury of external Business Venturesexperts, after an extensive evaluation process has selected11 projects to pitch in the Grand Final: 3 in CREATE, 5 inACCELERATE and 3 TRANSFORM category.

Who will be the GRAND FINAL winners? The Jury willdecide on finalists’ final ranking, based upon their pitch.

We are grateful for the massive response and qualitativeproposals that came from our ecosystem and we invite youto stay connected as 11 December will be an exciting dayfor European manufacturing!
