The winner of TTF 2023 🎉

Stijn van Geene

Last summer I graduated from JADS and I am currently working on personalized children's books to help children overcome fears, learn new things, or just read a fun and relatable book. Think, for example, of a story about your very first swimming lesson, or the first day of school in a new class. Due to advances in AI, it is now possible to not only personalize the story itself but also the accompanying animations based on a few photos of the child's favorite toy, for example. This way, you have a fun, unique, and especially relatable children's book that only needs to be printed and delivered.

 

The other fantastic talents of TTF 2023

We received many strong submissions and the selection process was challenging.
We hope that these great ideas of Mehdi, SmartHomeCentral, Camello and LooKasa will be developed further and that the participants will make their dreams come true!

The TTF challenge 
Make(s) a difference!

As an independent Dutch cloud hosting provider we understand how important technology is in today's society and in the future. We believe that technology can be used as a solution to problems that are growing every day. Because we stand for 'Geen woorden maar data' (data rather than words), we have developed the Tilaa Talent Fund (TTF). With this fund, we are targeting digital dreamers who can contribute to a better world with their brilliant ideas.

Our success is your success

Tilaa stands for facilitating space to create new ideas ('creating space for new ideas') 🚀

We do this in our own unique way. Tilaa has a clear opinion when it comes to digital freedom, sustainability, quality and convenience. This is reflected in our vision on product, people, and the environment. It is our dream to bring the cloud back to its original form: a simple, workable solution that is accessible to everyone, where the user is central and in control.
