Pitch Event 2026 – Your Stage for Innovative Business Ideas
Our Pitch Event offers a unique format in which six young companies will have the opportunity to present their business models on the main stage — before a distinguished audience of senior decision-makers from our client base, as well as representatives of leading private equity and venture capital firms. It is the ideal occasion to showcase your vision, establish valuable contacts, and strategically expand your network.

Why you should take part:

• Pitch before experienced decision-makers – Present your company to an audience that truly listens and understands what matters most.
• Valuable feedback on your business model, market, and growth potential – honest, constructive, and at eye level.
• Direct access to PE and VC representatives – Connect with potential investors and gain insights into their perspectives.
• Networking with prospective clients and partners – Take advantage of this opportunity to expand your reach in a targeted manner.
• Exchange with other startups from the region – Learn from one another, share experiences, and become part of an active founders’ community.

Would you like to pitch?

Then please register in good time. Pitch slots are limited to six startups — so secure your opportunity early and convince us with your idea, your team, and your vision.
Applications are open until 26 August. Please submit your application to felix.maximilian.albrecht@pwc.com.
Who is this event for?

Whether you are in the early stage, scaling up in the growth phase, or somewhere in between — you have come to the right place. If you wish to expand your network, gain honest feedback, meet exciting investors, or simply take away valuable impulses for your entrepreneurial development, this event is the perfect platform for you.

Look forward to an inspiring morning that aims to be more than just a stage — a space for genuine encounter, where ideas converge, synergies emerge, and new paths are paved.

Participation is free of charge; however, places are limited. We therefore encourage you to reserve your spot in good time and become part of an event that not only increases your visibility but truly moves you forward. From the pool of applicants, six candidates will be selected and granted the opportunity to present their pitch at the event.

We look forward to meeting you and learning about your business ideas!
