How it works

The Quantum Pitchfest is designed to be fast-paced, dynamic, and highly engaging. A curated group of 10 high-potential startups will take the stage, each given 5 minutes to pitch their breakthrough quantum technology to a live audience of investors, researchers, and industry leaders. Immediately after each pitch, judges will have 2 minutes to ask questions and dive deeper into the startup's vision and viability. The event will conclude with a live announcement of the winners, who will receive valuable recognition, access to mentorship opportunities, and a special prize, soon to be revealed!
