The deadline for submitting applications for our annual Startup Contest dedicated to seed and early-stage projects is fast approaching. Startuppers can apply and submit their pitch decks only until June 30.

 

More than just a pitch competition

The best innovators can win a cash prize of up to 20,000 EUR and capture the attention of the media, but our Startup Contest is more than just a pitch competition. Since the contest is taking place during Infoshare 2022, the celebration of technology and innovation, it's a great opportunity to boost your startup in several ways.
Network with investors and fellow entrepreneurs and learn from their experiences. Make a lasting impression on our audience and get potential clients. Most importantly, don't forget to seize this opportunity to find business partners among investors, representatives of VC funds and leading companies watching the competition.
