Innofest provides entrepreneurs with groundbreaking ideas to change the world the opportunity to conduct practical tests in the real world.
Innofest helps them test their prototypes at an early stage at festivals and in living labs. These ‘micro-societies’ provide practical feedback on an idea and insights into market needs. This helps entrepreneurs quickly filter assumptions. It saves time, money, energy and shortens the path to the market.
Nine out of ten innovations fail. Innofest thinks this is not necessary. By testing the waters at an early stage, market feasibility is revealed sooner.
The Innofest-method
An entrepreneur collaborates with a coach to conduct a practical test at a festival. This test is intended to explore the feasibility of the innovation, test assumptions, and determine next steps. The formula remains the same, but the input and outcome are always different.
