InnoVEX Pitch Contest

Participate in Pitch Contest to Gain Media Attention and International Connections

The InnoVEX Pitch Contest is open to exhibitors to register free of charge. The organizer invites international investors to be judges, and gathers resources from the government and enterprises as contest rewards. The finals will be held publicly on the stage during the exhibition and broadcast live simultaneously, which is the event with the highest exposure for startups. In 2022, 10 startups from home and abroad were selected to win more than USD $340,000 in prize money. The Taiwanese startup Swipecool Inc. won the grand prize with the dance dynamic teaching app “Swipe”.
