• it operates in the field of innovative technology;
• it is not currently involved in any disputes.

Selection criteria

We START you UP is a program designed for startups which can obtain considerable benefits from working with a Cloud architecture.
Our program encourages tech and innovative startups whose businesses are closely linked to the development of a web-based technology infrastructure:

• startups that intend to develop extremely innovative products and services in terms of ideas, approach or design;
• startups with a diverse team and a sustainable business model that can create synergies with Aruba Cloud;
• startups that can grow quickly and which cannot envisage a linear development of IT resources in their initial stage;
• startups that are targeting foreign markets but that cannot afford a global infrastructure capable of guaranteeing high levels of performance in relation to the target users.
