The Blue Ocean Awards juries will be held in October 2017 at the Ministry of the Economy

From more than 400 applications received, 20 SMEs and startups selected as finalists will have the chance to show the 2017 jury how their offer creates a new market (in particular by presenting their Blue Ocean Matrix).

The juries will begin on Thursday October 5 for 4 breakfast sessions every Thursday in October, at the Ministry of the Economy and Finance.

The sessions will end with votes on October 26 in the afternoon.

Each jury session will be LiveTweeted, so stay tuned on @blueawards
