The event
Each selected participant gets the chance to present their concept to a range of accelerators, incubators, experts, entrepreneurs and investors.
The event uses a rotation system. Each round, you deliver your pitch to a small group of network partners, followed by a short Q&A. Then a new group of partners joins you at your standing table and you pitch again.
This way, you don't just get to fine-tune your pitch. You also collect one-on-one feedback and input from a range of experts several times over.
The event ends with a networking opportunity. Over a relaxed lunch, you can continue your conversations with the partners, ask follow-up questions and make valuable new connections.
