Startup Pitching Competition

We have allocated two stages and two full days for startup pitches. Startups will be invited to pitch based on their inclusion in a DeepTech or other track. All pitches must be in English.

 

Each pitch will last 3 minutes and include 2 minutes of questions from the audience. The startup team will be allowed to use a Powerpoint or other presentation to support their pitch. All presentations will be made available to our accredited investors.

 

The pitches will be judged by a panel investors and experts from each sector based on:

 

• Clearly-Defined Market Need

• Market Size Identified

• Technical Viability of Solution Proposed

• Commercial Viability of Solution Proposed

• Strength of Team

• Time to Market

• Use of Funds

• Other Factors.

 

Each criteria will be ranked from 1-10, where 10 is the highest number of points possible. Each startup will be ranked in its track and three awards will be made:

 

• Track First Place

• Track Second Place

• Track Third Place

 

There will also be three top prizes awarded for total rankings at ATS: these will be the “Best of Show” awards.

 

The tracks are:

 

1. Aerospace & Automotive (Mobility)

2. Artificial Intelligence

3. Biotechnology & Life Sciences

4. Cleantech & Climate Change

5. Cybersecurity & Data Security

6. Fintech & Crypto

7. Robotics

8. Smart Buildings / Smart Infrastructure / Smart Grid

9. VR / AR / Extended Reality / Metaverse

The winners will be announced at the event and in a special edition of our newsletter, which will also honour all startups.
