Participate · Start-ups & scale-ups
From promising innovation to first project. And from first project to scale.
A good idea is not enough. New material companies must build trust, find applications, get feedback, meet partners and prove that production and supply can grow with them. MaterialDistrict puts you exactly in that context.
Not a starters’ corner, but a market step
You stand among established producers, specifiers and clients. That means your innovation is judged on the same question as the rest: where can this really be applied?
Matter of How for scale-ups
The step from experiment to ecosystem is exactly what Matter of How is about: not only proving that the material exists, but that it can be produced, specified and built.
Market validation and access to professionals who can accelerate pilots and scaling.
- Let your material be experienced physically.
- Meet architects and designers who can initiate first applications.
- Speak to clients and builders about pilots and preconditions.
- Find production, distribution or chain partners.
- Use editorial context to tell the story behind the innovation.
Which participation fits?
Innovation Hotspot and Tabletop are logical compact formats; the Sample Materials Exhibition can be an extra entry. Please contact us about the options and Innovation Partner status.
