These innovators will have the chance to pitch their businesses to an esteemed panel of investors, industry leaders, and global decision-makers.
Winners of the Final Rounds will receive a guaranteed investment, ensuring the support they need to scale their startups. AIM Congress will be promoting a total of USD 200,000 in investments across the event, reinforcing its dedication to fostering global entrepreneurship.
