As part of an initiative to support promising startups and nurture good ideas, AIBC Asia will welcome 100 startups from the region to its upcoming expo taking place in Manila this July.

The startup companies will take part in AIBC’s Startup Village project, where each project is given a highly coveted space on the expo floor. The event will also feature a Pitch competition – designed to connect budding startups and entrepreneurs with leading industry experts and help get good ideas off the ground. 

AIBC Startup Pitch

The pitch is a friendly-competitive event showcasing new talent and inspiring projects. Six startups, shortlisted by a team of experienced judges, will compete during the expo for a lucrative price including investment opportunities, mentorship, a free 2x2m booth at the next event of their choice, 5 passes, a magazine interview, consultancy, and visibility across social media. The live event includes a timed pitch and presentation and an interactive Q&A session. 

All startups will receive a 1x1m booth on the expo floor – designed to showcase their logo and company description. Startups will also benefit from 4 standard passes and 1 premium pass.
