INVEST AND CONNECT!

The ‘Invest and Connect’ is an exclusive startup award series of pre-selected startups that follows the mission of boosting the collaboration between European investors, leading corporates and startups. The events are addressing multiple industry verticals and taking place in 9 different innovation hubs in Europe and overseas yearly.

SMART MOBILITY AWARDS 2020

This year ‘Invest and Connect’ is focused on the Smart Mobility industry. The event series with the best local startups will take place in Scotland, Spain, France, Austria, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, with the European Finals in Germany.
