There will be 2 testers who would have previously measured their feet and found the perfect shoe size for one selected Bally shoe model. The accuracy of the startups’ solutions will be based on the match of their results with the ones of the 2 testers.
A winner will be selected, and this will have the opportunity to start a commercial discussion with Bally for a full proof of concept.
