How does it work?

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

Startup selection

We’ll review your application to see if your startup is a good fit for Startup Showcase. Bear in mind we’re looking for the startups trying to solve the most important, industry-defining issues. So think big.

Make the minutes count

You’ll have two minutes, so cut all filler from your presentation. What’s the most important issue in your industry and how is your startup addressing it? What does this mean for your customers? If your presentation answers these questions, you’re on the right track.

Connect with your audience

There will be no judges or slides – it’s just you and the audience. Tell your story in a way that will captivate the crowd. People can forget facts and figures but what they remember is how you’ve approached the problem. This is a bare bones presentation, so make the most of it.
