How does the selection process work?

First, you must submit your application online before midnight on 14 May 2024. Then, in June, you will have a video interview with the recruiters so that they can get to know you and your project better.

If that goes well, there is a final test, at the end of June, where you will need to ‘sell’ your project to a panel of judges.

The selection panel will consider criteria such as the relevance of the innovation, the scalability of the business model, the team’s expertise, as well as its commitment to getting fully behind the project and establishing it in the Principality.

As of September, the selected start-ups will benefit from 18 months of personalised support, technical and financial resources, special access to a network of experts and unique networking opportunities.
