Orange Innovation Très Haut Débit competition: inventing tomorrow's broadband services

Orange is organizing a competition to reward the best innovations  harnessing the power of broadband, developed by young and upcoming  French companies. This challenge will enable the three companies  selected to receive support from Orange as they develop their project  incorporating 4G and/or fiber.


The competition is aimed at all French startups and SMEs. It is open to companies from all business sectors that could benefit from very high-speed broadband.

with 4G and fiber, new applications will soon come to light

A judging panel made up of Orange employees will select the twelve products that best meet the following criteria: the solution’s innovative nature, its ability to harness the power of 4G and/or fiber, and the added value for the end client.
The six companies presenting the most relevant projects will be supported by Orange over a six-week period while the product or service is created.
The companies reaching the final will then present their product to a judging panel. After deliberation, three winners will be chosen in three categories:

  • “at home”: the best product or service that harnesses the power of fiber
  • “on the move”: the best product or service that harnesses the power of 4G
  • a “grand jury prize” that rewards the judging panel’s favorite solution.

You have until January 31, 2013 to submit your entry, and the awards ceremony will take place in April.

Thanks to this competition, Orange is once again showing its commitment to rolling out the networks of the future.
