This year, in partnership with the Unilever Foundry, they've launched the Foundry50 at Cannes. This programme is bringing 50 of the world's leading MadTech startups to a unique, new two-day event that brings together the worlds of data, technology and ideas at the 62nd annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
And we're ecstatic to say that one fifth of those startups attending Cannes this year are Collider alumni. Yes, 10 Collider startups will have the unique opportunity to speed-date with industry leaders, pitch on the Unilever demo platform and will be introduced to organisations attending Lions Innovation.
These startups were chosen from over 300 applications in March and April because of their unique approach to marketing and advertising tech. These startups are solving real-life problems brands and agencies face everyday - and are doing it with a creative flair. Any brand or agency who is loooking at working with startups should take advantage of the Foundry50 and begin immersing themselves in the startup world.
As part of the regular programme, Cannes Lions attendees will have the chance to speed date the startups on the 25 and 26, along with seeing their five minute pitches throughout the days. And they're representing all of the emerging MadTech trends. From social media analytics, influencer engagement, retail tech, video, AI and VR, there's something for everyone's interests.
Here are the 10 startups to watch out for at Cannes Lions in 2015:
