Selection day of the start-ups for Fit 4 Start #7

Are you ready ? It’s time for a day full of heavy pitching, inspiring start-up ideas and innovative projects! The most promising applicants of the Fit 4 Start Autumn 2018 call will pitch their start-up businesses and compete for a place on the programme. As a premier this year, there will be a second stage with pitches of health tech start-ups. At the end of the day, the Jury will select and announce the next 15 participants of Fit 4 Start #7.

Graduation night of Fit 4 Start #6

The ICT start-ups of Fit 4 Start #6 went through four months of intensive coaching, being challenged every day by lean start-up experts. Developing a MVP, conducting a customer discovery and testing their product-market-fit are just some of the lessons the start-ups learned during the acceleration programme. Successful graduates will present their start-ups’ progress and receive their Fit 4 Start diploma. Come and celebrate with them and the Luxembourg start-up community!
