Developer teams dealing with integration, service orchestration and micro-services application management when using different cloud infrastructure providers can greatly benefit from the UNICORN platform.   UNICORN project consortium encourages you to get involved in the UNICORN platform, to discover its potential and collaborate with us in its validation. UNICORN is launching a contest, where twelve SMEs & Startups will receive 10.000€ funding each (see here a template for the contract) to test and validate the platform by developing their own software or use-cases using the UNICORN framework. During the development phase, participants will have access to the UNICORN platform and to all the resources needed for a successful validation including Cloud hosting services, and UNICORN training and examples, among others.   Moreover, selected participants will be invited to participate in UNICORN training workshops, and their venture will be introduced to the Startup Europe entrepreneurial ecosystem.   Here there are some slides presenting the platform.
