SpeedUP
The SpeedUP is a faster way to launch calls for solutions. Each SpeedUP call for solutions starts with a challenge clearly defined by an administration or ministry and invites external players – start-ups, companies, research centres, independent experts – to propose an adequate solution.
The procedure is quick and simple: a call is published exclusively on the GovTech Lab website and widely distributed to subscribers and on social media, and applications are open for several weeks. After receiving the applications, the administration communicates directly with the bidders to identify the most relevant solution and jointly define the terms of implementation. A single service provider is then selected to carry out the project. With a maximum implementation period of eight months, SpeedUP promotes the rapid development of prototypes, studies or concepts tested directly in real-world conditions.
