Every year we make a call for seedmoney projects within the community. These are fresh, promising initiatives that are in line with our domains and in which partners work together on a first proof of concept, prototype or experiment.<\/p>

Selected projects usually receive a contribution of 50% of their project budget, with a maximum of 10,000 euros. These projects are carried out by a collaboration of at least two DigiShape partners, are innovative in nature and are led by young employees of the partner organisations. Each year, specific topics can be chosen as the focus for the seedmoney call.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
