How does it work?

The Cardlink Business Factory framework will offer a more agile and extended open call phase, giving the right amount of time for the teams to prepare.
As soon as a high-quality entrant is identified and evaluated, they will enter the Cardlink Business Factory and be matched with the respective key stakeholders of Cardlink.
Through the facilitation of the Cardlink Business Factory, the teams will receive coaching and mentoring, in order to enhance the prospects of participating teams developing valuable solutions that solve real challenges.
If a solid prospect for a potential partnership is identified, following the facilitation phase, teams will go through a final solution exploration sprint, discussion all aspects of the partnership and exploring the framework and terms of a possible agreement.
The total duration and phases of the Cardlink Business Factory is as follows:

Open-Call (6 weeks) -> Selection Process (6 weeks) -> Facilitation (6 weeks) -> Solution Exploration Sprint
