Bouygues Telecom launched the Startup Challenge 2014, a competition that rewards startups for their efforts in innovation, with 2 categories : one dedicated to 4G, one dedicated to their TV Box running on Android.
For this occasion, DYNSEO enabled older people to play with its Stim’Art program directly from their TV, and be able to challenge others at home, thanks to technology developed by Bouygues. In fact today all homes are equipped with a TV which is often at the heart of the home, so the idea was to turn it into a game screen, but also a means to communicate with the family!
Thus DYNSEO had the great pleasure of being awarded:
– The 3rd Prize in the Android Box Start-up Challenge, winning € 2,500 reward.
-The Jury’s Special Prize, winning a journey of discovery in the Silicon Valley for 2 people worth € 10,000.
DYNSEO is very proud to count among its partners Bouygues Telecom and is very honored to receive its beautiful rewards.
A dream has come true, thank you Bouygues!
