In addition to the monetary prize, the winners will have access to Santander’s international entrepreneurship network in two categories, Seed and Early-Stage.
In the Seed category, aimed at entrepreneurs with projects in the validation phase for launch on the market, 10 thousand euros in monetary prizes are included. The Early-stage category adds 20 thousand euros in financial rewards and is aimed at startups with a product or service on the market, in the acceleration phase, giving them the possibility of receiving different prizes and testing their ideas with the best actors in the industry entrepreneurial ecosystem.
A jury of reference elements from the Portuguese business ecosystem distinguishes the three winners in each category. They receive the monetary prize and direct access to the Santander X Global Award 2023 competition, where they will compete with European and South American teams.
