Success at IIDA Idea Contest

Disclaimer: We found out about an idea contest called IIDA Idea Contest at the end of February and attended the service idea category slightly before the first blog post. We were pretty confident about the idea itself but had no idea what kind of ideas the judge was looking for.

About the contest in general: "IIDA is an idea contest for students, researchers and employees at Tampere University , Tampere University of Technology, Tampere Polytechnic, and Pirkanmaa Polytechnic."

No more, no less... That's the contest we WON! And we're pretty darn proud about it! This was the final seal to prove us that LineTicks has some major potential to become a huge success. From hereon we'll start prototyping LineTicks and attend the pre-incubator provided by Hermia Business Development.

The IIDA award ceremony itself was very positive. The best thing aside from the fact that we actually won the contest is that we had an opportunity to meet some really friendly and interesting people. Just to mention a few, we met guys from DiCode, Universomo and Novaloc (Hermia Business Development too, bien sûr).

I'm feeling really positive about all of this and I know that Pekka and Petri share the feeling. We're going to have an interesting journey ahead of us and we're soooo keen to find out where it leads.
