CUBE Challenge 2017: One Year. One Competition. One Million.

CUBECUBE's goal is to push the envelope on innovation. Making change and innovation happen in the industry is a tough challenge that takes knowledge, creativity, time and also courage. No Equity. No obligations. No strings attached. If your startup is outstanding, your products are desperately needed by the industry and the best of all qualifiers, CUBE will give you one million euros in cash. The prize will give you a level of independence that will allow you to forge partnerships with the Industry more easily, without having to explain or look for funding.

The selection for participation in the CUBE Challenge will take place in several phases throughout the challenge year and across all the various Global Touchpoint events leading up to the culmination point: the finals at the Tech Fair in 2017.

Startups, which qualify for the CUBE ecosystem, automatically take part in the CUBE challenge as part of their application.
