About the Sylvester Cat Award

Sylvester, the European wildcat and the mascot of the competition, has disappeared from several parts of the world and especially in Europe. This is probably due to the disappearance of its forest habitat. Its return and re-appearance symbolize for some, the return of nature.

The partners taking part in the competition will each preselect three high-performing companies among those they have supported. The three companies form a team are paired with another challenger team. These two teams thus form a group (three groups in total: A, B, C). Project leaders’ pitch in the first round (No PowerPoint presentation, bringing an item to better explain the project is recommended).
