EVOLVEX EXPLORE CHALLENGE
The EvolveX EXPLORE Challenge is a program designed for Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurial enterprises to overcome fundamental challenges they are currently facing. We believe that with our program, our mentors, and the interaction between the different entrepreneurs, fundamental challenges can be overcome and real magic can take place. The program takes place in a totally different setting than the day to day business; abroad and with different impulses and all the facilities needed to work, network and reflect.
Blockchain - Logistics
THE EMPTY RUN CHALLENGE
Unknown to many, a tremendous waste takes place in international logistics; from truck to train and naval transportation repositioning of empty containers contributes to unnecessary costs and CO2 emissions. Together with the often awarded Delft based engineering start-up HCI we have been thinking about how to set up a blockchain based, efficient and sustainable system to combat this problem. The project is still ongoing, however the blockchain based part were we could play a role is seen as a second stage. Want to know more and stay informed? Get in touch!
Blockchain - for Good
INNOVATION FOR PEACE INITIATIVES
Together with the Stanford Peace Innovation Institute (PII) in The Hague, we are helping to analyse together with city representatives and society builders, how blockchain and the movement of peony and digital assets with less friction improves social security, knowledge sharing, business development and strengthens local communicates and thereby the likelihood of peace. Together, will not just analyse these developments, but actively engage and co-develop initiatives.

F@Q
WHAT IS EVOLVEX?
Short Answer:
EvolveX is about brining you further by Discovery.
Long Answer:
We bring entrepreneurs and organizations further by discovering, ideation, learning, structuring, challenges but also actual testing and doing. The world will not be changed by incremental innovation, EvolveX is a challenge in a project or your entire organization to disrupt firstly by making a mindset change.
We have a team of experts, either in business model innovation, ideation, innovation structuring, mentoring, coaching, focus domains like Ai, Blockchain. Also, we have a network of coders, developing and builders that could be required for a particular project.
We focus on corporates that want to innovate and successful entrepreneurs or scale-ups that face challenges yet to be overcome. Either in the way they innovate, pivot or in decisions to be made.
WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
Inspiration. Programs to have a different mind-set- a new mental model.
Ideation. We help to generate ideas.
Creation. Ourselves, as modern consultants that are not there to advise and leave again, but we want to be involve with the evolving project. If it is about a long-term project we can be your growth hackers and partners beyond the standard advisory role traditional parties offer.
Escalation. Because we have a passion to help you go forward, it excites us too, we want to see projects grow.
WHY IS IT CALLED EVOLVEX?
Firstly, and sadly so, because the term innovation has been raped. More importantly, because it is essential to evolve. Who remembers the species Darwin and other scientists discovered that did not manage to evolve? Right, you got our point. No one did, they became extinct. What is all associated with evolving; developing, progressing, advancing, moving forward, maturing, growing, expanding, altering, changing, transforming, adapting, etc. Quite positive attributes we would say. By the way, Evolving is not something that has to happen gradually. We actually think it shouldn’t. Hence the X, to speed and spice things up.
IS EVOLVEX DANGEROUS?
“What is dangerous is not to evolve”.
X, Jeff Bezos.
Whatever you think of Jeff, here we couldn’t agree more.
