TechBIZKON brings together startups from Austria, Germany, Italy, Belgium/Flanders, and Japan, as well as major companies, VCs, accelerators, and other support organizations to create opportunities for startups to invest, collaborate, network, and expand overseas. This is an event specialized in startups.
The theme of this year's seventh annual event is "Digitalizing the world - Microelectronics for DX. The focus will be on microelectronics and semiconductor technologies that support digital transformation (DX). In conjunction with the event, we are calling for Japanese startup companies with innovative technologies to participate in the pitch contest. We are also looking for companies and organizations to participate in this event.
Theme.."Microelectronics and DX"
Startups with particularly outstanding pitches will receive prizes such as participation in an acceleration program in a European country or a free exhibit at an international exhibition or trade show. Last year, prizes included a two-week acceleration program in Austria, a one-week intensive acceleration program in Flanders, Belgium, and an exhibition package at the Hannover Messe in Germany.
The 2022 event was a great success with 30 startups from Japan and Europe, 10 panelists, and 150 visitors.
