On 30 March, the first Start it @kbc Demo Day for 2017 will take place, in the presence of 300 captains of industry and investors. The ideal public for the pitching start-ups who will be giving a live presentation of their innovative business ideas. And the Demo Day will be held in new premises, since Start it @kbc is bursting out of the seams of our current premises in the rue de la Science...
Higher and stronger. That is the best way to describe the recipe for the Brussels Demo Day 2017. 14 promising Belgian start-ups will make their three-minute pitch to a select audience of business managers, investors and entrepreneurs. An excellent opportunity for the innovators to show what they’ve got and to extend their business network substantially.
And bigger too, for Start it @kbc, with the support of its partner KBC Brussels, is bursting out of the seams and will be moving to a new 700 m2 location at the end of April . We will now have twice the space! And this is also the spot where the new edition of Brussels Demo Day will take place.
The start-ups who will pitch at the first Demo Day of 2017 are
Ava & Trix, Bookwidgets, Datylon, Investimmo, Noho, Pom, Postbuzz, Pozyx, Qwibl, Ritchie, Scriptbook, The Kobi Company, Tsjing and Zendo.
The two best pitchers will have a chance to win the highly coveted Start it @kbc Award or the Public's Award, each with a value of € 5,000.
