At the LOPEC 2023 Start-up Forum, selected founders will present their business ideas in short, ten-minute presentations.
The aim of the Start-up Forum each year is to find partners and investors to support the realization of the founders' plans and ideas. A jury of investors and companies reviews the submitted applications in the run-up to LOPEC and puts together a selection which then present their business idea on site at the LOPEC Start-up Forum.
The best presentations in each of the categories Best Business Case and Most Impactful Technology or Most Impactful Product will be selected by the jury and presented with the LOPEC Start-up Award at the LOPEC Get-together on the evening of the first day of the trade fair.
As a special honor, the two winners will each be provided with a start-up full service stand package worth around €2,000 free of charge at LOPEC 2024.
Both the Get-together and the Award Show are open to all exhibitors, conference participants and trade fair visitors.
The call for papers for the Start-up Forum & Award starts on October 13, 2022 and ends on January 14, 2023, after which the jury will start selecting the nominees. They will be announced during the web seminar "LOPEC Talk No. 10", on February 1, 2023.
Important: The first submitters (submissions until November 19, 2022) have the chance to win a free ticket to the LOPEC 2023 Conference worth around 1.200,- € (selected by a jury).
The announcement will be made during the web seminar LOPEC Talk on December 1, 2022.
