How do you know if an idea works in the real world? Innovation only really comes to life in practice, and testing that is not always easy. That is why Zomerparkfeest, in collaboration with Ondernemend Venlo and other partners, is organising Zomerparkfeest TestLab again this year. Past editions have shown that TestLab is an excellent stage for entrepreneurs to validate their prototype or concept with the help of a diverse audience. Thanks to the nearly 100,000 visitors to the festival, TestLab participants can gather valuable feedback.
During the Pitch event on 14 May an expert jury will select three companies to test their innovation at the upcoming edition of Zomerparkfeest from 8 to 10 August in Venlo.
Take part in the pitch and test your innovation during Zomerparkfeest 2025!
Once again this year, Zomerparkfeest TestLab is looking for Limburg entrepreneurs with innovative ideas that contribute to a sustainable and social society. Zomerparkfeest TestLab is an innovation track in which three entrepreneurs get the chance to test their innovation, with coaching and proper preparation, in a real-life setting. Do you have an innovative product or service that contributes to a sustainable or social society and want to test this innovation with a large and diverse audience. Then Summer Festivals TestLab offers the opportunity:
- Collect data and feedback to further develop your product - Receive direct feedback from real users.
- Personal coaching - Get support from innovation experts.
- Expand your network with entrepreneurs, partners and innovation experts - Get in touch with experts and potential partners.
- Increase your visibility through media and festival audiences - Increase your awareness and reach.
Register for the Pitch event on 14 May.
Present your innovation to an expert jury during the Pitch event on 14 May. If you become one of the three chosen participants, your innovation experts will guide and coach you before, during and after the test phase to ensure you achieve optimal results. You will also have the opportunity to attend plenary sessions and individual workshops.
