Elevator Pitch

We will allow you to:

• present your innovative idea to a competent jury of leading investors
• expose your company and test your idea with the conference audience
• find partners
• find clients among the participants
• receive recognition and exposure of  your idea
• receive significant media exposure at the Innovation Award Ceremony if the winner or a finalist

Rules:

You will have 6 min sharp to present your innovative idea as though pitching a top executive while in the elevator. 3 minutes for questions and answers after the presentation will be all your time to interact with the audience and the jury.

Winners will be selected in two stages: 5 innovators will be shortlisted and have another presentation after the Investment panel.  The winner will  be given the Innovation Award at the end of the conference by Dr. Story Musgrave.
