Founder brief
Who should attend
Founders building in fintech, health tech, climate tech, SaaS, or agentic AI will benefit most, particularly those seeking international capital or exhibition exposure alongside major corporate tech leaders. Teams ready to enter pitching competitions or host dedicated startup pods should mark the late October application deadline.
What happens
Programming spans two halls with branded startup pods, track talks on emerging technologies, and dedicated pitch competitions. Days feature structured group mentoring, investor speed-dating sessions, curated social meetups, and evening happy hours across the four-day schedule.
Who's in the room
Thousands of startup teams share the floor with over 300 speakers, including investors like Itxaso del Palacio from Notion Capital, Sébastien Lefebvre from Elaia, and Oriol Juncosa from Plus Partners, alongside operators like Caroline Chayot and Kara Conway.
How to prepare
Draft a concise verbal pitch adaptable for quick investor speed-dating rotations and noisy exhibition halls.
