SwipeGuide has been selected by EIT Digital, a leading European player in innovation and entrepreneurial education, as a finalist in its renowned pan-European competition EIT Digital Challenge. The competition focuses on startups in the growth stage, so-called scale-ups, with deep tech products that leverage sophisticated, hard-to-reproduce digital technologies that fuel digital transformation.
A total of 403 companies from 32 countries applied for the competition. They cover a variety of areas strategically chosen with respect to major digital trends and European leadership potential: Digital Tech, Digital Industry, Digital Cities, Digital Finance, and Digital Wellbeing. The twenty best companies are invited to an exclusive online final event on 12 November to present their technology to an international expert jury of corporates and investors.
SwipeGuide will compete against nineteen other European deep tech scaleups. Five winners will be awarded and receive a full year of support from the EIT Digital Accelerator worth €50,000 to grow their businesses in Europe and beyond. The first prize winner will receive an additional cash prize of €100,000.
