*ship Startup Festival
*ship Startup Festival is an international platform for early-stage startups and a learning environment to those interested in entrepreneurship. It is highlighted by its traditional Pitch Captain Competition!
Along with the competition, we offer mentoring to ensure that competing startups are well supported to achieve the best results at the event.
As a non competitor, If you have a business idea or a design product in mind, why not participate or just come and observe how other people sell their skills and concepts? Visitors can also test their ideas and get feedback from industry experts while networking throughout the event.
*ship happens again on the 8th and 9th of May 2025!
