BIND SME boosts the digitalization of SMEs by connecting them with technology startups
BIND SME responds to the new technological challenges of SMEs through the collaboration with innovative startups and scaleups.
Through BIND, SMEs from the Basque Country present in each edition a series of use cases to which the candidate startup must respond by applying disruptive technological solutions. The startup proposals that best solve these use cases will be selected to develop their projects in collaboration with the Basque SMEs.
