Acceleration MIT Enterprise Forum Poland
The aim of the acceleration under the government project Scale Up was to refine our idea (especially on the business side) to increase our chances of market success. Through the MIT EF Poland programme, early-stage entrepreneurs like us received expert support from mentors (recognised managers and experts from Poland and abroad), intensive entrepreneurship workshops based on the model of MIT Sloan School of Management professor Bill Aulet, a Pitch Academy, seminars with experts and office hours with professional advisers.
Our company BZB UAS successfully passed the verification stage and qualifying interview. During the acceleration we developed our business strategy, and thanks to cooperation with PGNiG we created our company's first product –
KOLIBER UAS
– the main aim was to ensure a continuous supply of gas to homes and businesses, and so we built a long-range unmanned aircraft designed for inventorying critical infrastructure, which helps prevent interruptions in supplies.
Monitoring infrastructure and creating spatial models helps supervise facilities and improve their operation, prevent flooding caused by heavy rain or plan the exact layout of facilities to keep them running smoothly. The solution was tested on critical infrastructure provided by our partner (PGNiG), and we can confidently say that we met the partner's expectations. BZB UAS is currently in talks about deploying the system and carrying out further tests related to unmanned aerial systems (drones).
