October 26, 2009 in All, News, Participants by Tim van Eck

The finals will take place on Thursday November 5 in Theater Prismare (Enschede).
From 18.45, the six promising young technology companies will present their business case in a short pitch. The jury then determines which company wins the award and takes the prize of 5,000 euros.
VLT-entrepreneur Maria Lijding is with her ‘Smart Signs Solutions

one of six finalists in the
Young Technology Award competition.

  Maria Lijding started her company in November 2008. As the company name suggests, Smart Sign Solutions is all about signs and finding your way in buildings. Seems nothing special, right?

But, the signing and “wayfinding” is done in a whole new way:
it’s all personal!

The special combination of soft- and hardware makes personal and dynamic wayfinding in buildings possible. Particularly innovative is the technology for the recognition of people and the calculation of the optimal route!

The product can be used in office buildings, conference and meeting facilities, hotels, cruise ships, hospitals, airports and museums.
