Hublot supports projects that reflect its motto: No Innovation – No Future. It collaborates with internationally renowned institutions such as ECAL (Lausanne university of art and design) and the Swiss Education Group, and has developed a talent-nurturing platform under the aegis of the Hublot Design Prize. By becoming the Official Timekeeper of the 3rd edition of the Seedstars World competition, it is once again committing to supporting innovation, talent, ideas, courage and passion.
Seedstars World is a global competition that promotes the identification of new talent. Since 2013, it has organised a competition which aims to identify promising startups in emerging countries. Following a 7-month worldwide adventure, the 55 startups selected across 5 continents will come together in Lausanne. After 3 days of discussion and mentoring, 15 of the startup finalists had precisely 5 minutes to make their pitch and convince a jury of investors from around the world. And Hublot was timing those few precious minutes that could change the fortunes of these startups.
And the winners are:
- Hublot Most Innovative Company Prize - Rahul Koduri, Eora3D, Australie
