KAMA works with a selected group of state-owned enterprises. Each publishes three to five challenge briefs, setting out specific operational, market, or growth needs.

There are two ways to apply:

• Answer a published challenge. Startups select the one brief that best fits their solution.

• Propose an idea to work with one of these enterprises. Startups can propose a solution that could add value to what an enterprise does, even where no published brief covers it.
  
  Selected startups work directly with enterprise teams, domain experts and mentors to develop, test and pilot their solutions inside real operating environments, with access to relevant infrastructure, data and venture-building support.
  
  The track helps startups validate their solutions with an enterprise, demonstrate business value, and build pathways toward adoption, commercial engagement and scale.

Founders with a solution that answers a published challenge brief, or that could add value to the operations of one of the participating enterprises.

Applicants must be able to commit to the full programme, including full-time participation during immersion, piloting and commercialisation. One application per startup.
