Innovation in the spotlight: Zomerparkfeest TestLab seeks Limburg entrepreneurs

Zomerparkfeest and its partners are again this year offering a unique opportunity to Limburg entrepreneurs: testing their innovative product or service with an audience of nearly 100,000 visitors. From August 8 to 10, the festival grounds in Venlo will be transformed into the place where innovation and experimentation take center stage.

A festival as a real-life testing environment

Innovation only really comes to life in practice. But how do you know if an idea works? Because testing in the real world is not always easy. That's why Zomerparkfeest, in collaboration with several partners, is organizing Zomerparkfeest TestLab again this year - a stage for entrepreneurs to validate their prototype or concept. There they can gather valuable feedback from a large and diverse audience.

After a pitch event on May 14, an expert jury will select three entrepreneurs who will secure a spot on the festival grounds. Those selected will receive guidance from innovation experts to optimize their test case and make an impact.

Wanted: Limburg innovators

Summer Park Festival TestLab is looking for Limburg entrepreneurs with innovative ideas that contribute to a sustainable and social society. During a pitch event on May 14, an expert jury will select three companies that may test their innovation at Zomerparkfeest from August 8 to 10. Those selected will receive guidance from innovation experts and the chance to validate their product or service to a large and diverse audience. Since the first edition in 2023, six entrepreneurs have been able to further develop their idea or product thanks to the insights they gained during Zomerparkfeest TestLab.
