Bigger companies often don’t have the speed and flexibility to innovate at great scale. The challenge was to develop a process for an incubation center which rapidly turns ideas into actual business.

The team focused on the Technical Readiness Levels of innovations. Fern Teo, young professional Boskalis: ‘Our idea consists of a digital platform with a physical base at the Campus in Dordrecht. Ideas, corporates, investors and support from government and education come together both in the platform and in person.’
