🚀 Pitch your innovation to the world

The Innovation Fair 2025 is not your regular event. It's a launchpad for ambitious start-ups, sharp university spin-offs, and dynamic SMEs working on the front lines of real-world challenges. This is your chance to showcase your innovation to a high-level audience of potential investors, policy makers, and collaborators across continents.

Selected innovators will pitch their ideas in a dynamic 2-minute spotlight, during an in-person and online hybrid event in Brussels on 23 October 2025. If selected, you’ll be sponsored to attend.

🌱 Focus areas: tackle today’s biggest challenges

You’ll be pitching alongside other visionary changemakers, answering the big questions in these five key areas:

• Public Health (4 slots)

• Green Transition

  • Food & Nutrition Security / Sustainable Agriculture (2 slots)

  • Climate Change / Renewable Energy (2 slots)

• Innovation & Technology (4 slots)

• Capacities for Science (4 slots)

🏆 What’s in it for you?

Beyond visibility and networking, successful pitchers will receive tailored prizes to help them de-risk and accelerate their solutions—whether that’s securing IP, refining go-to-market plans, or scaling production.
