Do you have an AI startup?
Sign up! Present your AI startup to the jury of the AI Startup Pitch Contest. You will gain valuable feedback and potential collaboration opportunities with partners.

Show the world what your AI startup can do and get noticed!

Have an idea? Come by and join us.
You don’t need to have an established company. We welcome everyone—participation is not limited to those presenting in the pitch contest. You could even be a startup in the pre-incubation phase of the Technology Incubation project. Come connect with key VC representatives, corporations, and other organizations that support AI startups, engage in networking, and make yourself known.

Did you place in the top three in last year’s Pitch Contest?
If so, we’d love to have you join us again this year, but only as an observer or for networking purposes. We want to give other exciting projects the chance to shine.

The events will take place from 3 to 6 PM. AI startups will have the opportunity to showcase their products, while universities and innovation centers can test the competitiveness of their projects. The lineup of venture capitalists will slightly differ at each location.
