How does it work?

Startup Showcase brings together startups from a range of industries to present their company and vision to our attendees, investors and members of the international media. Every hour will see our top startups take to the stage to present under a uniting theme.

Funding

Investor to startup meetings are pre-scheduled sessions between the world’s most influential investors and the startups that excite them. If selected, you’ll get insider advice on making your startup irresistible to investors.
