YDreams Global and SET create the 'SETup Challenge' in search of Latin America's most promising Startups for VR, AR and IoT - Seite 2

Over 50 companies have already taken part in the challenge, among them are names like Celebritys, NetShow.me and Stayfilm. According to Edson Mackeenzy, Head and curator of the Innovation Zone program, which distributed over R$1 million in awards from sponsors and partners, this is an important move for the relationship between media, broadcasting companies and startups. 'We would like to create an even stronger connection between entrepreneurs and potential clients,' he stated..

In 2017, the SETup Challenge will have the full support of YDreams Global, who through its own participation, moves forward with its longtime incentive of market development for startup companies. 'The greatest changes in several industries have begun with small-scale companies; and for the broadcasting field, creativity is an imperative element. By mixing this 'hunger' for the unprecedented with the unparalleled imagination of the startup environment, we aim to show the world what true innovation is like, from the minds of these great professionals - something that we take as a rule in our DNA. By being close to these companies we have the opportunity to not only accelerate but invest and eventually incorporate the best ones,' stated Marcos Alves, Director at YDreams Global's Ventures division.       

Registration for the SETup Challenge can be made until July 7th through the following URL: www.f6s.com/siz2017. The chosen companies will be revealed on July 27th, at SET's website (www.set.org.br).
