KPMG has launched Private Enterprise Tech Innovator – a global pitch competition aimed at startups. Five finalists will present their business ideas, similar to Dragon’s Den, to a distinguished jury. The winner will have the opportunity to compete in the global final alongside 22 other winners from different KPMG firms. The final will be held during the Web Summit week in Lisbon in November.
“It has been exciting but also incredibly difficult to select five finalists from many incredibly strong applications, all with a consistently high level of innovation. It is particularly exciting to see that many of the competing entries are characterized by a strong focus on sustainability. Now, we hand over the responsibility to our jury, which has the tough task of selecting a winner on June 1,” comments Michael Palmér, project manager for the competition and head of the panel responsible for the initial screening.
KPMG Private Enterprise Tech Innovator is an innovation competition where startups had the opportunity to apply for participation during the spring.
One of the criteria is that they must have a turnover of at least 10 million SEK and/or have received investments of at least 5 million SEK.
The five competing entries are:
1) PlasticFri – Home – PlasticFri
2) Stratipath – Stratipath – AI-based precision diagnostics
3) Imogo – imogo (imogotech.com)
4) STILRIDE – STILRIDE – The Next Generation of Electric Mobility
