A plan and a model are deployed to identify shared needs/opportunities among the participating SMEs, which can be transmitted in the form of a challenge to the startups, and then materialize them through the joint execution of pilot projects aimed at testing technological solutions that can later be scaled up.
They are joint sessions between SMEs and startups where the participants present their proposals through a short presentation and serve to present an idea or a business in a defined time and space.
The B2B BIND SME facilitates networking between Startups and SMEs, with a matching system that streamlines the connection between interested parties.
These are the characteristics that participating SMEs must meet:
BIND SME is mainly focused on the following startup profiles:
Participating SMEs undertake to:
The minimum tasks and hours to be developed are the following:
Participating startups will commit to:
The evaluation and coordination committee will analyze the use cases submitted by the SMEs. Once the startups that best fit the proposed use cases have been identified, they will be invited to participate in the initiative. The challenges identified by the SMEs will be published on the initiative’s website and a form will be set up to receive proposals from the startups.
Selection phase: startup evaluation and SME-startup matching
The startup selection process will be carried out in two phases: the Evaluation phase and the Matching phase.
The startup evaluation phase is structured in two sub-phases:
Evaluation Criteria
1) Value proposition (40%)
Level of innovation of the proposed solution.
Maturity level of the proposed proposal (market stage of the technology/product or service).
Impact of the proposed solution on the SME and the market.
Advantages of the proposed solution over market alternatives.
2) Team (20%)
Educational and professional skills of the promoter team.
Experience and knowledge of the sector to be applied.
3) Adaptation to the challenges posed (40%)
Compliance with the technical requirements of the challenge posed.
Level of project description (phases, scope, objectives, examples).
Ability to scale the proposed solution to SMEs with similar needs.
After the SMEs have prioritized their favorite startups, the corresponding Startup Pitch Sessions will be held for the SMEs.
The final phase for the configuration and development of projects.
Through the B2B event, the BIND Team will enable contact between SMEs and startups that have been selected, without any obligation or liability for any business relationships that may be established, after such contact between them.
The associated SMEs that have found a technological solution with the capacity to respond to the challenges posed, will sign, where appropriate, a contract directly with the Startups, the projects whose further development of which SPRI will have no role or participation whatsoever. The scope, objectives, duration and economic conditions under which the joint project will be developed will be defined and agreed upon freely by both parties, without the participation of SPRI.
The content of the contract will bind only the signing parties, i.e., SME and startup, since it is a private agreement that establishes rights and obligations between them.
Therefore, the fulfillment of the obligations assumed by the parties (SME and startup), will be the sole responsibility of the party responsible for such obligation. Specifically, the payment of the price agreed upon by the parties (SME and startup) will be made by the participating SME, being SPRI expressly exonerated from any responsibility or obligation, both in relation to the payment of the price, as well as any of the obligations agreed upon by the parties (SME and startup).
