Krumb on the victory platform in Avignon

Krumb, the Belgian app that gives locations a new dimension, is in the spotlight this month in Avignon.

The Prophets’ start-up was the only foreign player, selected as one of the final winners of ´the Bridge´, a post-accelerator programme supported by the French government, Microsoft, Cap Gemini and Orange. 

The app is being intensely tested for one month during the Theatre Festival on the millions of visitors who flock to Avignon.

Avignon was recently the first city to be awarded the ´French tech culture´ label, for its ambitions to become an international leader at the interface between culture and digital innovation.

The kick-off of this ambitious programme was immortalised this weekend by numerous dignitaries, including the Ministers of Culture and Economy, in a …Krumb.
