Keyport seeks innovators and experts for Open Brains

Together with Open Brains, Keyport is organizing innovation and brainstorming sessions on five Thursdays: June 27, Aug. 22, Sept. 19, Oct. 17 and Nov. 14.

The Experts

The experts we are looking for are experienced professionals with specific knowledge, valuable networks and extensive experience in various industries. They are dedicated to supporting the Innovators in validating their business models and suggesting necessary adjustments and optimizations to enable a better launch. Participation gives Experts the opportunity to stay abreast of the latest developments and to expand their own network.

The Innovator

Are you an entrepreneur, startup or experienced, with a great innovation or innovative idea (concept or product)? Or do you have a challenge about which you would like to spar with a network of Experts? Then sign up as an Innovator and present your innovative idea to our group of experts.

An innovator gets a stage to present his or her concept and benefit from the in-depth knowledge, extensive networks and valuable experience of our Experts.

Through constructive feedback and collaborative efforts, the Experts prepare your idea for a successful launch, giving you as an innovator a huge boost and sometimes even literally enabling the launch of your product.

How does it work?

Based on the Business Model Canvas, ambitious ideas are structured: 10 minutes of pitching and 50 minutes of discussion, led by a moderator. As an innovator, both before and after the session, you will receive personal guidance from an innovation expert to achieve the best result. Together we ensure that the input gathered is actually used to move your idea or innovation forward.

Other important things to know: Two weeks in advance an intake with one of our innovation experts and a week after the session you will have a follow-up meeting with the same innovation expert.
