Start-ups and growth companies can now apply for the pitch stage. Guests and investors can also book their tickets and benefit from early bird conditions.
Two days – countless opportunities
The Pitch Day on June 14 puts startups and their innovations in the spotlight. The IDT-Pitch-Stage and the Innovation arena offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their future-oriented business concepts and to convince investors, corporates and those keen on innovation. Both investors and the audience will decide which start-up has the greatest potential to shape the future with its innovation in a Live-Voting. At the end of the day, the best pitch performances will be awarded attractive prize money and further prizes.
In addition to start-ups from Thuringia, Germany and the world, promising start-ups from the Thuringian Regional Innovation Program (TRIP) will present themselves at the Investor Days. As the accelerator program of the Free State of Thuringia, TRIP creates the best conditions for accelerating start-up innovations in a targeted manner and making them investment-ready.
The second day is dedicated to the exchange between investors and Thuringian growth companies. After an exclusive event for investors, the innovative growth companies will present themselves with pitches. In addition to the live pitches from various industries, the event will offer inputs and discussions on topics such as transformation and open innovation. For those interested in the life sciences, the medways “Future Conference on Medical Technology” will take place parallel to the main program.
Over and over again, the Investor Days Thüringen gain a lot of international attention and attract entrepreneurs, investors and partners from all over the world. In 2021 alone, the event digitally connected and networked participants from 17 countries. This year, Indonesia joins the event as a key country.
