Pitch-Events mit VC- und Business-Angel-Matching für KI- und Tech-Startups

Pitch & Venture is an event format organised by CyberLab designed to facilitate targeted networking between technology-focused start-ups and investors from the venture capital and business angel sectors. The focus is particularly on start-ups offering innovative solutions, including in the fields of artificial intelligence, IT, cyber security, smart manufacturing and digital technologies. The format comprises pitch events, matching sessions and specialised events such as Venture Days and business angel matching events. Selected start-ups are given the opportunity to present their business idea to experienced investors in a structured pitch format, receive feedback and explore potential funding and collaboration opportunities. The events are designed to provide high-quality deal flow for investors whilst enabling start-ups to gain early access to relevant funding partners. In addition to the pitch sessions, the events offer opportunities for one-to-one discussions, informal networking and the establishment of lasting contacts within the investor and start-up ecosystem. The aim of the programme is to support the financing of innovative companies, facilitate access to capital and accelerate the transfer of technologies to the market. At the same time, investors benefit from curated start-up pitches, structured screening and access to an active innovation network in Baden-Württemberg.

The added value for the organisation lies, in particular, in a significantly increased likelihood of success, a clearly structured application process, efficient application drafting, and the professional positioning of the project within the European and national funding landscape. At the same time, applicants benefit from better guidance within the complex funding landscape and a more efficient use of their resources.

The aim is not only to ensure that innovation and digitalisation projects are eligible for funding, but also to strategically align them so that they can have a long-term impact and be successfully implemented.

Who is this service for?

The service is aimed at start-ups, SMEs, technology-oriented companies, research institutions and public organisations wishing to apply for funding – particularly at EU or national level.
