SAPIE Open Challenge

Starting in September, we are launching SAPIE Open Challenge in Slovakia, an open innovation challenge format that connects established companies with students, innovators, and startups.

A company submits a real-world challenge, and we then find a team of innovators to work on it intensively for one to two months, with the goal of developing a solution or proposing a pathway towards one.

Timeline:

🔹Summer 2026: Collection of challenges from companies

🔹Autumn 2026: Challenge promotion and team matching

🔹Spring 2027: Work on solutions

🔹SAPIE Forum 2027: Presentation of the solutions

📢 Stay Tuned. The challenges are coming up soon!
