Call European Data Incubator

European Data Incubator is looking for 50 promising big data startups and SMEs to take part in their next round of incubation.

The programme takes startups through three intense phases of growth over eight months, from August 2019 – April 2020, with a combination of online sessions and physical meetings in Bilbao and Berlin.

EDI will give you:

• The chance to grow not only as a startup, but also a team. After joining our programme, our startups have gone on to receive investment, develop their business in a new way and employ new team members.
• A dedicated mentor who will be with you every step of the EDI programme, communicating with you online and meeting with you face to face at our physical events in Bilbao and Berlin. All of our mentors are experts in their field and have a wealth of experience acting as coaches to startups like yours.
• The chance to work side-by-side with a corporate in a supportive environment, working together to solve their big data challenge. This unique situation provides you the chance to really collaborate on an in-depth project, and could lead to a fruitful and long-term relationship even after the programme has finished.
• The opportunity to create and launch a new product or service that could even be a new business line for you or something that you were already thinking of working on. If you choose our ‘Half and Half’ challenge or ‘Free choice’ challenge, you have the freedom to decide what kind of big data challenge and data set you are working on.

There are 3 ways to participate in the European data incubator:

Ready-Made

Choose one of our "ready to use" challenges, where the challenge, data sets and data providers are predefined by us, ready for you to solve!

Half and half

Present your own challenge, but solve it using an EDI data set and an external data set.

Free choice

You are free to propose your own challenge and solve it by working with your own data provider and external data sets.

The selected startups will have access to up to 100,000 euros of non-refundable financing, free support services and workshops given by specialized mentors, a free cloud environment to make data processing scalable and direct access to large corporations of different sectors.
