Cracking the code: How startups and Governments can drive public innovation

​*All attendees must be valid Tectonic Ticket Holders on Nov 6*

Working with government isn’t always easy - it can feel like hacking an ancient system full of rules, riddles and red tape. But when startups and the public sector manage to align, they can unlock opportunities that neither side could achieve alone. This session dives into how to make the alignment work in real life. Three cases show how startups can navigate public partnerships to test and scale innovative solutions through the initiatives Sandbox Vlaanderen and PIO (Programme for Innovation Procurement), both designed to connect bright ideas with public needs. Whether you're a startup founder or public innovation strategist, join to learn how to turn public innovation into your launchpad for impact and growth.
