DLT4EU London Online Bootcamp is about to start
We are halfway through our accelerator journey and that means our second online Bootcamp has arrived! From Monday, the eight Virtual Field Labs (VFLs) of DLT4EU (composed by the finalist Venture Teams and the Challenge Owners) will be working together to advance in solving their circular economy and digital citizenship challenges.
Held from London by our consortium partner Digital Catapult, this virtual encounter will consist of three days of work and two days of sessions with the mentors of the programme. Continue reading to know all the details!
A Demo Day and two sprints
DLT4EU teams have just three months left until the accelerator finishes. As part of the London Bootcamp, each of the Venture Teams will be asked to present a Demo of their Proof-of-Concept (PoC) to date to a panel of experts, including their Challenge Owner and Virtual Field Lab (VFL) Coach on Monday. Each demo is showcased in front of other VFL teams, so it will be great opportunity for the teams to benefit from peer-to-peer learning.
Teams will also attend a Sprint Retrospective session on the third day of the Bootcamp. The objective of this session is to identify areas within which the teams had had issues, helping them to improve the focus of the projects.
Finally, each of the VFLs will complete a Sprint Session, similar to the one held in the Amsterdam Bootcamp, in order to plan the next two months of development.
Two days of sessions with the programme Mentors
During this intense week of work, teams will also have access to the DLT4EU Mentors, who will provide guidance on key topic areas, including technical, business model, design, impact and legal.
