On 26th September at 19.10 the time had come. Jeroen Boer had to present in a one-minute pitch the innovation behind the 7XE Extractor. This was followed by a 10-minute barrage of questions from the jury.
In front of 20 jury members, the Pitcher from Translas had to answer various questions regarding the technical feasibility and commercial expectations for the 7XE Extractor. This was a challenging but enjoyable experience.
At 22.30 the same evening, we were happy to hear the good news – that we are chosen for the finals out of 800 innovations in the category ‘Smart Industry’. On 28th October, we will be competing with four other innovations for the wanted trophy!
The finals will take place at a special arena at DeFabrique in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where we will pitch once again the innovation behind the 7XE Extractor in front of a large supporting audience. You are welcome to support us as well during this event:
