MaterialDistrict Innovation Fund
This year, more exhibitors than ever showed (material) innovations within the themes Circularity, Wellbeing, and Energy Transition, a direct result of the MaterialDistrict Innovation Fund, founded in 2019 by MaterialDistrict. Start-ups and designers can receive subsidy from the fund for their participation with the event. An independent advisory board fulfils an important role in the scouting of start-ups and assessing the subsidy applications.
