Prototron will go on with its current spring round as planned, transferring all its events to online channels. Solutions meant for the mitigation of the potential aftermath of the COVID-19 coronavirus in healthcare, industry, education and other sectors will be highly welcome in this round.<\/h5>\n

\u201cIt is as an effective tool for finding and supporting brilliant, innovative and smart ideas that the format of Prototron has proved itself over several years. Taking it into account that the teams working on the new solutions are extremely busy and the issue of extra cost is a sensitive one, we did employ online platforms for some of the events in earlier rounds. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis situation, we will be transferring the entire Prototron 2020 spring round to an online environment, which will also make the participation convenient for e-residents,\u201d Jana Budkovskaja, the CEO of Prototron, explained.
\nShe added that the online hackathon held last week with support from Startup Estonia reassured Prototron that the fund had taken the right course. \u201cSmart solutions as well as supporting them are more important than ever before. For our part, we would like to contribute to the state\u2019s and the start-up community\u2019s initiative in order to specifically provide additional support to the solutions for the mitigation of the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is why all the appropriate ideas will automatically become eligible for the quarterfinal of the Prototron programme,\u201d Budkovskaja said.
\n\u201cWe want to do our part to ensure that the participants of the applications round as well as the Prototron team stay healthy. Holding the applications round online is a challenge, but it also opens up new fascinating opportunities,\u201d Budkovskaja noted.<\/p>\n

All the participants whose solutions are meant for alleviating or overcoming the crisis resulting from today\u2019s situation of future concerns will be automatically included in Prototron\u2019s semifinals.<\/h4>\n

To bring the winning idea to life, Prototron will allocate up to 35,000 euros. In addition, there will be encouraging investors, inspiring mentors, legal aid, support services provided by the fund\u2019s partners and an opportunity to take part in an incubation programme.
