Have you heard of SuperNova? It's the premier tech and innovation festival you won't want to miss! At SuperNova 2025, with the theme "Shoot for the Moon," ambition, innovation, and excellence are celebrated.

The delaware DEL20 community is an ecosystem that makes digital transformation tangible. It allows businesses to experiment with new technologies like AI, robotics, and IoT without worrying about competition, budgets, or failure. Clients propose projects, and delaware offers a framework and free consulting days for winners to realize their ambitions, sharing insights with the entire DEL20 community.

And that's where these two come together. DEL20 is part of the SuperNova Festival to help businesses innovate and share insights with a broader audience. SuperNova 2025 isn't just about discussing the future; it's about building it. Don't miss your chance to be part of something extraordinary!

It gets even more exciting: The 3 winners will receive 25 consultancy days to accelerate the development of their solutions and bring their innovative ideas to life! This is an incredible opportunity to push your project to the next level and turn your vision into reality.
