The Media Lab has identified the five best teams of the latest edition of the startup contest “Ideadrome.” The chosen teams will undergo a week-long training at the Media Lab. The finalists will have the opportunity to obtain the necessary knowledge for their future activities and prepare to export their startup ideas on the global market. 

The finalists of the contest are working on facilitating digital communication, educational gaming, developing mechanisms to counter fake news, and facilitating access to information.   

The selected teams will work with mentors at the Media Lab for a period of one week, discussing important topics such as: validating the startup idea, team management, decision-making strategies, prioritisation and product testing, easy access to funding, selecting the appropriate business model for the idea and creating the ideal presentation. All training will include practical tasks, allowing the startuppers to immediately turn their newly acquired knowledge into real experience. 

The Media Lab of the Communications Commission is holding the startup contest “Ideadrome” for the fourth time. The main goal of the Media Lab in this process is to discover potential startups and help them turn their ideas into reality. The final of the contest will take place on 28 May.
