Pitching day for start-ups applying to the 9th edition of the Fit 4 Start programme

Are you ready? It’s time for a day full of intense pitching, inspirational start-up ideas and innovative projects! The 80 most promising applicants of the Fit 4 Start Autumn 2019 call will pitch their start-up businesses and compete for a place in the programme. For the first time ever, there will be pitches from space sector start-ups, alongside those active in the fields of ICT and healhtech start-ups. At the end of the day, the jury will select and announce the participants of the 9th edition of Fit 4 Start.

Graduation night of the 8th edition of Fit 4 Start

The start-ups of the 8th edition of the Fit 4 Start have gone through four months of intensive coaching, and been challenged by lean start-up experts. The lessons taught by the acceleration programme include how to shape go-to market strategy, fine-tuning a product, evaluate one’s individual investor readiness and much more. Successful start-ups will present their progress and receive their Fit 4 Start diploma. Come and celebrate with them and the Luxembourg start-up community!

The event will be opened by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Economy and Minister of Health Étienne Schneider. As always, an engaging keynote speaker will also share his expertise with the audience.
