How does it work?
24 exhibiting startups are chosen by a panel of judges before the event. These startups will have the opportunity to pitch their innovative ideas to a live audience and the judging panel. Each pitch will be followed by a brief question period, allowing the judges to delve deeper into the startups' plans. Once all pitches are completed, the judges will consider the insights from the initial judging round and determine the winners. The winners will be announced at the end of the event, recognising the most promising startups in the competition.
Twenty-four startups will battle it out to receive a prize fund of 250K.
