POPUP connects individuals, organisations and institutions around the challenges that matter. Surface a problem, champion a solution concept, or introduce a startup venture—and discover the people, perspectives and partnerships that can move it forward.
One platform. Three ways to create meaningful change. Choose the pathway that matches your contribution—and connect with people who can help move it forward.
Articulate a real-world challenge, provide the context behind it, and invite a wider community to explore meaningful ways forward.
Present a considered approach to a challenge, connect it to an existing problem where relevant, and outline how the concept could create value.
Introduce a startup, product, service or emerging business opportunity—and connect with people who can contribute expertise, partnerships or momentum.
A startup pitch can stand independently or connect to a problem or solution concept. Every submission passes through POPUP's compliance workflow before publication.
Each pathway serves a different purpose, yet all are designed to bring relevant expertise, fresh perspectives and potential collaborators into the conversation.
Select the pathway that reflects your intent, then provide the context needed for others to assess its relevance and potential.
Submissions are screened for spam, unsolicited promotion and policy violations, then assessed for relevance, classification and potential connections.
Following review and approval, contributions can reach people and organisations with aligned interests, experience or capabilities.
Initiate a collaboration request and, once accepted, work together to explore next steps and pursue a tangible outcome.
Whether you are defining a challenge, shaping a solution or building a venture, POPUP helps bring the right conversations and capabilities together.
Navigate problem statements, solution concepts and startup pitches by sector, category and areas of interest.
Access structured summaries, contextual categorisation, preliminary feasibility signals and relevant-match suggestions.
Automated safeguards and human review help protect the quality, relevance and integrity of the community.
Express interest in a contribution and establish a working connection when the collaboration request is accepted.
Monitor post reach, engagement and collaboration activity to understand how your contributions are resonating.
Help promising challenges and concepts progress towards pilots, partnerships and outcomes that can be evidenced.
Complex challenges rarely fit within one discipline. Progress often begins when people with different experiences, expertise and resources come together.
Students, professionals, subject-matter experts and independent thinkers can surface challenges, contribute specialist knowledge or introduce a venture idea.
Companies, startups, SMEs and NGOs can articulate business or community challenges, explore solution concepts and identify potential collaborators.
Universities, research centres, educational bodies and public institutions can bring research, institutional and societal challenges into a broader problem-solving ecosystem.
Too often, pressing challenges remain disconnected from the people who have the expertise, creativity or resources to address them. Valuable ideas can remain unseen, while potential collaborators never find one another.
POPUP creates a shared environment where challenges can attract new perspectives, solution concepts can invite collaboration, and startup pitches can connect with the people and opportunities that may help them advance.
Bring forward a challenge, share a solution concept or introduce your startup. Find the connections that can help turn possibility into progress.
