# What is a Start-up Pitch?

## A start-up pitch allows a speaker to introduce their product(s) or company in a short session and increase their visibility in the market.

Start-up pitches take place on the Innovation Stage and last 10 minutes each. Speakers can decide for themselves whether they would like to hold a Q&A session during their presentation. This offers the opportunity to reach e.g. specific sales partners or stakeholders and engage in dialogue.
