Apply for the Engaged Startup Showcase

We are looking for the most promising startups connected to the CEE region that are ready to scale and disrupt markets.

Selected startups will have the opportunity to deliver a 3-minute pitch as part of the Engaged Startup Showcase on October 22, between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

This is not a competition. It’s a real opportunity to pitch live in front of international investors with one clear goal: securing funding.

The organizing team from DEPO Ventures will review all applications and select startups across four funding stages: angel, pre-seed, seed, and Series A, and additional categories for defence, space and fintech startups.

Each category will run for approximately one hour and feature a jury of investors actively investing in the respective funding stage or sector.

To be eligible, your startup must be currently fundraising or planning to raise funding within next 6 months.

If selected, we will contact you directly with further instructions, and conference participation for one startup representative delivering the pitch will be free of charge.

Application deadline: September 24, 2026.
