The deadline for submissions is now Wednesday 11 January 2023, after which IBC will select six to eight projects to go forward at its annual Kickstart Day event in London on 8 February 2023. The selected projects will be developed over the following five to six months and their solutions culminating as proof of concept showcases at IBC2023 in Amsterdam (15-18 September 2023). Further details of Kickstart Day will be announced in January.
