Startup Alley is at the center of TechCrunch’s Disrupt events, and this year at Disrupt Berlin (4-5 December) we are going to feature some of the top startups in Europe. We are looking for 30 outstanding startups to participate in one of our featured pavilions, so exhibit your startup and attend Disrupt Berlin for free.
Here’s how the program works. TechCrunch is seeking awesome startups to exhibit in featured pavilions, which are special sections of Startup Alley based on categories where there is a lot of startup buzz and investor interest. Startups are free to apply to the 10 featured pavilions we’ll have at Disrupt Berlin, and we will pick three winners for each pavilion to receive free spots. If you’re one of the lucky companies selected, you’ll be able to exhibit for one day at no charge, plus get two tickets for access to all three days of Disrupt.
Wait, there’s more! Each winning startup will have a three-minute slot on the Showcase Stage, in the heart of Startup Alley, to pitch their startup to thousands of Disrupt attendees. Here are the categories for the pavilions:
- AI & Machine Learning
- Virtual & Augmented Reality
- Blockchain/Cryptocurrency/Fintech
- Hardware & IoT
- Health & Biotech
- Foodtech
- Mobility & Transportation
- Robotics
- CRM/SaaS/Marketing
- E-commerce & Retail
You can apply here. The application deadline for these featured pavilions is Friday, October 13, and we’ll be notifying the winners by the end of October. If you are also applying to the Battlefield competition, don’t worry, applying for a Pavilion as well will not interfere with your Battlefield application.
Unfortunately, we can only offer free spots to three companies in each pavilion, but if your startup is not one of the lucky ones we will extend a discounted ticket / exhibit offer to all the companies that apply. So don’t miss out. Apply now.
Disrupt Berlin 2017 takes place 5-6 December at Arena Berlin. We can’t wait to see you there.
