Project Support
Helping promising ideas move beyond the competition stage — mentorship, guidance, and connections for teams with SDG-aligned emerging-technology projects.
Beyond the competition stage
KBI competitions are designed to produce serious work — but the best projects often deserve continuation beyond a single event weekend. Project Support provides a pathway for teams to develop ideas further with mentorship and institutional connections.
How KBI supports projects
Mentorship
Structured feedback from practitioners and researchers in relevant domains.
Connections
Introductions to universities, industry partners, and research hosts.
Proof of concept
Support toward demos, pilots, and research outputs — not forced startup paths.
Who this is for
Project Support is for promising student teams emerging from KBI programmes — including ETO Western at InHolland, I2OL regional rounds, and certification cohorts — who want to continue developing SDG-aligned solutions in healthcare, sustainability, finance, or education.
