For Accelerators

Put your startups on the global stage.

TechEmbassy operates curated side events alongside the world's leading technology and industry conferences. Through Venture Nights and selected industry programs, accelerator partners can connect their portfolio companies with international investors, corporate audiences, experts, and new markets.

Where accelerators fit

Startup participation lives in Venture Nights and startup-enabled industry events.

Possible opportunities

  • Startup pitch slots
  • Curated startup showcases
  • Investor introductions
  • Qualification jury involvement
  • Expert speakers from your team or mentors

How it varies

  • Not every TechEmbassy event has a startup component
  • Executive gatherings, dinners and industry parties have no stage for a founder
  • The events listed below are the ones where startup participation applies
  • Industry focus spans TechEmbassy industry programs and Venture Nights
Fall 2026 season

Where you can join.

The events below have a startup component — pitches, a showcase, or an investor jury. Opportunities are matched per event rather than guaranteed across the season.

How it works

Three steps to an ecosystem partnership.

Step 1

Become an ecosystem partner — we learn about your accelerator, portfolio, industries, and key markets

Step 2

Match relevant opportunities — we identify the Venture Nights and industry events where your startups, mentors, or ecosystem add value

Step 3

Activate the partnership — startup applications, showcases, speakers, jury participation, cross-promotion, or local collaboration, depending on the event

Standard accelerator ecosystem partnerships are typically non-exclusive and based on mutual ecosystem value.
