How it works:

  • Each finalist will have four minutes to pitch their innovation and answer questions from our entire audience of potential investors and business partners, as well as our panel of judges.
  • Audience members will then have their say in a live vote and the Showcase Winner will be announced!
  • Finalists will have a branded table to demonstrate their innovation during our demo hour to our audience of investors partners and peers.
