Nurturing the Best of the Best: A top selection of the early-stage startups from our ecosystem

At the heart of our event lies an diligent selection of early-stage startups, handpicked from our thriving ecosystem with over 800 tech startups knocking on our door each year. For each event, a seasoned team of startup advisors and experts sift through 100+ up-and-coming startups. ​

The result? A constellation of the top 30 startups, each showing early traction, exhibiting growth indicators, and implying investment potential.​

Going beyond the pitch deck: Tailored stage program for Deeper Insights

It’s more than just slides. Each startup gets a close-up. Throughout structured tracks the spotlight shines on each startup, unveiling their core essence on stage. In the hot seat, a sector-specific investor jury digs deeper, asking questions to unfold more relevant details around the investment case.​

Where Connections Bear Fruit: Get in on networking that pave the way for sealing deals

Investment connections are made in the details. Thanks to tailor-made connections, our guided networking approach enables participants to secure immediate 1-on-1 meetings at the event. 

It’s not just networking; it’s tailored relationship building. ​
