As with the previous editions, each startup will be granted 3 minutes and 33 seconds to present its project, followed by 2 minutes of questions and answers in front of a jury composed of experts from the Luxembourg startup and entrepreneurial ecosystem. The startup with the best pitch, which is then selected as the winner, will receive a €50,000 prize, entirely financed by Docler Holding. The event will also be opened to external investors and anyone interested in the ICT and startup scene.

“We are very excited to meet these new and innovative entrepreneurs. The Pitch Your Startup initiative has truly become a strong launching pad in Luxembourg for startups from all over Europe”, explained Marton Fulop, COO of Docler Holding, and added: “We are constantly amazed by how Wondermags (2015 winner) and SESAMm (2016 winner) are expanding and we feel very proud to be part of their journey".

"Attracting international startups and talents to Luxembourg can be a challenge. This way in which we are supporting the ICT ecosystem is our contribution towards helping the Grand Duchy become a fully digital country", said Karoly Papp, Co-Founder & CEO of Docler Holding.

“Luxembourg is truly becoming an attractive springboard for ICT startups. This third edition of Pitch Your Startup, powered by Docler Holding and supported by Luxinnovation, contributes to creating a culture of innovation and competitiveness by attracting and challenging high-tech entrepreneurs. Offering local entrepreneurs the chance to compete alongside international players, the initiative boosts Luxembourg’s ICT ecosystem and assists in our transformation into a fully digital society,” concludeed Jean-Paul Schuler, CEO of Luxinnovation.
