Located in Congress Square (CS300), the Pitching Stage is a dynamic and engaging space that will host talks on different aspects of innovation and investment, from startups as well as big industry names.
The Pitching Stage is located just next to ISE's Innovation Park, where dozens of exciting startups, at the forefront of innovation, are exhibiting. Many of these forward-thinking companies had the opportunity to showcase their solutions on stage. It was a nice chance to see the future in action, right before your eyes.
There also were a series of impactful keynotes, panel discussions and fireside chats from experts, entrepreneurs, and investors. These sessions explored the latest trends, emerging technologies, and forward-thinking strategies that are shaping the landscape of investment and innovation. Attendees gained valuable insights into the key drivers of success and innovation in today's rapidly evolving business environment.
The Pitching Stage is programmed by Plug and Play.
