The main award of Be.CULTOUR hackathon consisted of a 4-month acceleration period offered by ICHEC Brussels Management School to Be.CULTOUR’s 19 innovative teams. During the first acceleration session, each team discussed the team’s pulse and availability; co-designed the user customer journey map; planned the assumption testing format; and co-designed their project’s roadmap. During the second acceleration session, each team discussed the team’s pulse and availability; started pretotyping: co-designed the projet’s landing page, and its related user/customer journey storyboard and a mini value proposition. Finally, each team co-designed their project’s marketing strategy.

During the third acceleration session, each team discussed the team’s pulse and availability; co-defined their project’s financial model; co-identified and evaluate societal impacts and started co-designing their project’s Business Plan.

Throughout the three sessions, each team worked collaboratively in a breakout room on its Miro board. After each session, the 19 teams were assigned a homework to complete before the next session. The fourth and last acceleration session will be dedicated to fine-tuning financial figures and pitch creation.
