Once or twice a year, scaling start-ups submit proposals addressing specific challenges faced by Hexagon customers, from sustainability to AI integration.
The most innovative proposals pitch to Hexagon’s expert panel, who select up to 10 businesses to take part.
Selected start-ups undergo a 10-16 week “innovate-on-the-job” program, featuring coaching, workshops, and connections to Hexagon customers.
Participants develop solutions with potential for Hexagon partnership, aiming to provide additional value to joint clients.
Program concludes with the ‘Sixth Sense Summit’, where start-ups pitch to win resources for globalisation and access to Hexagon’s ecosystem.
“Sixth Sense has given us a unique and direct approach to growing our business by connecting us to Hexagon’s decision-makers and a wide external network. We are grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to others looking to expand their business”.
“The support from Hexagon has been incredible, from senior management right through to the resources we’ve had access to.”
“The program has been extremely effective and it seems incredible that we were able to come up with a concrete advanced value proposition by joining forces in just a few weeks’ time. 1+1 = 3!”
