The GovTech Connect Pitch Day will showcase the most promising Northern & Southern European startups providing digital solutions to tackle public sector challenges on:

  • Achieving Net-Zero: sustainable procurement, energy efficiency, sustainable tourism.
  • Digitalisation of Public Services: citizen collaboration, inclusion and accessibility.
 
The event will take place on October 20th from 11 AM CET, on a hybrid set up (live streamed from Madrid!)
You will have the opportunity to listen to the startups pitches on their innovative solutions and to network with GovTech experts, government representatives, and public innovation stakeholders from across Europe.
 
Over the past few months, Intellera Consulting has been working alongside PUBLIC, Lisbon Council and Politecnico di Milano to deliver groundbreaking research work, boot camps for entrepreneurs and design thinking toolkits, to support the development of a comprehensive strategy for the European GovTech ecosystem.
 
The GovTech Connect Pitch Day is a pivotal component of the project, as it serves as the finale of the first two GovTech Connect Boot Camps, which are aimed at equipping innovators with the skills to navigate government collaborations, secure investments, co-design solutions with citizens, and raise funding for their ventures.
