The process
How ZBIF works
Four stages, from the first challenge brief to a signed pilot.
Switch the journey to see each stage from your side.
-
01
Submit
Create your team profile: who you are, your sector, and what you can build.
Describe a real operational problem, with context and, where you can, a pilot budget.
-
02
Match
Browse open challenges, submit your approach, and get AI-ranked as a recommended fit when you match well.
Review AI-recommended rankings of solutions. You do the final screening and selection.
-
03
Build
Develop a working answer with feedback from mentors and the company that posted the challenge.
Give feedback while matched teams build toward a pitch you would actually buy.
-
04
Close
Pitch live at the forum, then sit down with buyers and investors in a private Deal Room.
Watch the pitches, then agree MOUs, pilots or procurement in a Deal Room.
