we are very glad to invite you at our event "Impact Chapter: Startup Challenge" on 13th-15th April 2016, HICC, Novotel, Hyderabad, India.
At the Impact Chapter, Hyderabad we expect over 300+ startups and total of 2,000+ delegates from 80+ countries - Mentors, Investors, Entrepreneurs from around the world who are willing to invest heavily in the startup ecosystem. We are supported by our global partners- Climate KIC Alumni Association , Get in the ring and HPI School of Design Thinking also by the Nasscom 10000 startups and the government of Telangana.
âImpact Chapterâ is a great opportunity for networking and cooperation. And most importantly, the best platform for Indian companies to expand to the International market and beyond. We expect high-ranking guests,
delegations, speakers and mentors, that will gather at our conference to share their knowledge with startups and attendees. The timing for such an initiative could not be better as Indiaâs Prime Minister Modi has just announced his Startup Action Plan for India. Please find more details here
As a part of the event, there will be unique pitch competition in which the startups get a chance to pitch to the potential Investors inside the boxing ring. The pitch competition is a local final and the top six startups winning the competition will have a chance to pitch in the national final and then in the global finals which will be held either in Columbia or Portugal (yet to be confirmed). These startups also will be supported by international mentoring by our partners CKAA, HPI School of Design Thinking and also they get a prize money (still talks in progress to finalize the amount). Also as a part of the event, there will be a global soft launch "The Start-up Olympics 2016" on 14th of April (second day of the event) by Get In The Ring, which will have the delegates from 80+ countries.
