The euRobotics Entrepreneurship Award is given out each year at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) to the most promising robotic start-up as judged by a jury of robotic entrepreneurship pioneers and experts. Entrants to the competition stand the chance to gain valuable skills in how to pitch an investment idea together with the potential to gain interest in their company from the robotics and investment community. The 2020 edition of the Entrepreneurship Award will take place at the European Robotics Forum 2020, 3rd – 5th March 2020 in Malaga, Spain: https://www.eu-robotics.net/robotics_forum/.

Benefits from participation
Each selected participant will have their flight and accommodation (up to € 500) and ERF attendance and banquet fees paid for one person, and will furthermore receive feedback on their pitch and project from the screening committee and an offer of a further 3 * 1 hour of counselling from European level robotic entrepreneurship experts.

Three participants will be selected as Finalists and pitch in the open Entrepreneurship Award workshop along with a robotic entrepreneurship role model and will receive a winner’s podium diploma and recognition on stage during the ERF banquet. The Entrepreneurship Award winner will additionally receive extensive coverage on ERF social media and recognition in ERF public promotion materials and in a press release and an ERF Entrepreneurship Award winner diploma and announcement on stage at the ERF banquet.

Motivation and objective
The objective of the workshop is to encourage the wider acceptance of entrepreneurship in robotics researchers by providing entrepreneurial coaching to several teams who themselves have ideas for developing robotics products or services.

Time of workshop
The workshop will take place over three sessions on 3rd of March. The first and second sessions are private screening and coaching sessions and will take place between 8:30 and 10:30 and again between 14:00 and 15:30. Each participant will be invited for just one of these private sessions. All participants will receive feedback immediately after 15:30 on 3rd of March, and the three selected Finalist will be invited to pitch in the Entrepreneurship Award 2020 workshop on 3rd of March between 16:15 and 17:45. The first two sessions will be closed sessions for the entrants only, while the last session will be open to all ERF participants and will also feature a role model presentation by a successful robotic entrepreneur.

Organizers

Approach
Three sessions will be held. The first two are private pitching and discussion sessions at which the 10 best entrants are invited to individually pitch their ideas to a panel of expert robotic entrepreneurship coaches. These sessions will result in three entrepreneurs going forward to the ERF Entrepreneurship Award workshop – the three finalists will do a public pitch in front of a jury of robotics entrepreneurship role models and experts. This jury will then consider the presentations and declare a winner of the Entrepreneurship Award. The private coaching sessions will involve each selected entrant pitching in a 10 minutes slot followed by questions from the panel.

The number of entrants will be restricted to a maximum of 10. The organizers team supported by some of the coaches will select the most promising or innovative ideas based on the application.

In order to address the confidentiality issues the workshop will adopt the following guidelines:

  • The first and second sessions will be closed sessions.
  • The third session will be open to all registered attendees of the European Robotics Forum.

It is suggested that presentations be kept to information you are happy to be in the public domain. If there is any information that you feel is essential to your presentation, but you do not want to be fully public then this can be discussed with the coaching committee during the first sessions, but no NDA’s will be signed by the coaches.

Coaching committee, jury and role models
The entrants will be followed by a team of expert coaches, that are also open for follow up counselling after ERF. Robotic entrepreneurship role models and experts will form the jury and could give specific input and assistance in the further development of your investment pitch and your company.

Participants
How can participants contribute to, and prepare for, the workshop?

The participants are expected to have already developed an idea for a robotics related product or service and done some background work in researching the marketplace in which it could be exploited. Entries can be both individuals who have not yet established a company or teams with established companies and proof-of-technology, but without sales and turnover yet. However, only one person will be subsidized to join the event.
