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 from 11:00 – 12:00 on March 1, 2023.
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 awarded the LOPEC Start-up Award at the LOPEC Get-together on March 1, 2023 at 19:00.
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.
