Our yearly highlight is our Award ceremony when we invite the new winning startups to pitch on one stage in front of our entire ecosystem of major companies, EU institutions, VIPs, and investors – all eager to discover Europe’s best clean mobility entrepreneurs. This year, we’ll bring the best of our previous versions; we’re back to a full physical location but we’re still going to broadcast a high level digital version. We’re proud to be part of the ChangeNow Summit and an official event of the French Presidency of the EU. But if you can’t make it to Paris, our media partner, the Brussels Times, will broadcast the event on its Facebook page and website. As always, viewers have an active role to play. Together with our professional jury – YOU will get to vote among the 10 pitches which ones were the best, deserving this year’s GOLD award.
Here’s our programme for the event:
