ABOUT THE CONTEST
By filling out the form you are applying to participate in the Showcase Contest pitching competition. 6 contest participants will be selected on the basis of the submitted applications. The Showcase Contest is open to startups registered in European Union.
You will be informed of your qualification to the contest by email or telephone. Recruitment is open from 15 May to 10 June.
The finals will take place on June 25th in Wroclaw.
This isn’t your typical pitch contest — the finals will be full of twists! Here’s how it works:
🎯 Round 1 – Head-to-Head Showdowns
Six selected startups will be randomly paired into three duels. Each founder will get:
3 minutes to pitch their solution in English
1 minute to answer jury’s feedback
After each duel, the jury picks a winner on the spot. Three startups move on to the final round.
🔥 Round 2 – The Final Showdown
The top three go head-to-head once more, but this time:
2 minutes to respond to jury feedback from Round 1 and questions from Round 2
Share fresh insights or stronger arguments for your business potential
The jury combines scores from both rounds and crowns the winners: 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. In the case of a tie? The jury chair makes the call.
