AIBC is throwing its weight behind up-and-coming startups, offering support to young businesses by connecting them to investors and mentors.
Following a very successful run, the next edition of AIBC Pitch is back for another round. Over 100 startups will be selected to showcase their products and initiatives throughout the event.
However, only the judges’ top 6 will make it to the Pitch during the final leg of the summit, putting them in the running to potentially receive valuable equity investment. Increase your chance of being one of the top 100 by providing a 3-minute video-introduction upon participation!
Should you have any questions, please contact Emily.
