About this Session
Part of the 2026 Award Ceremony.
Three Finalists. One Stage. Europe Watching.
The European Startup Competition celebrates what Europe does best — the courage to build something new. From all submissions, our jury selects three finalists to pitch their product live on stage and receive direct feedback from a panel of renowned investors, including Carsten Maschmeyer.
Each startup is evaluated on innovation, impact, and execution. This is their moment to make the case for why their product deserves to be at the front of European digital innovation.
For designers and engineers, this is a rare chance to see tomorrow's products up close — get inspired by fresh approaches, discover tools and ideas you haven't encountered yet, and meet the founders building them.
