Nuqleus Demo day
When?
July 4, 2024, at 14:00
Where?
HUB385 (Franje Petračića 6, Zagreb)
What and Why?
Demo Day is a half-day conference focused on the development of the deep-tech ecosystem, bringing together important stakeholders in deep-tech – scientists, investors, entrepreneurs, and startups.
The central event of the conference is the presentations (pitches) by startup teams that have passed the first two stages of the Nuqleus startup accelerator.
In addition to the team presentations, conference participants will hear keynote talks from renowned deep-tech entrepreneurs, panel discussions on the perspectives and financing of deep-tech companies with investors, as well as experiences from already founded startups.
Startup Presentations (Pitches)
Ten teams that have passed the two stages of the Nuqleus startup accelerator will have three minutes to present their solutions and startup plans to the conference participants and the investment committee, which will evaluate them.
Members of the investment committee have the right to ask questions, and after the conference, we will announce which teams have advanced to the third stage of the accelerator, where they will continue to develop their products.
Networking Program
An important addition to the conference is the networking program which aims to connect the stakeholders of the deep-tech ecosystem and assist new deep tech ventures.
We will have a specialized networking area with snacks and drinks provided by sponsors.
Networking meetings will be pre-arranged, and for this reason, we ask all interested participants to fill out the networking section of the expression of interest form.
We will share the profiles between registered participants who can then book meetings with those they want to meet. Additional information about networking will be sent prior to the start of the event to all who apply.
