A staple in the annual Echelon Asia Summit, the Echelon Roadshow is back this coming 2020 to spice things up before the big day
As some of the readers may already know, e27 annually hosts the Echelon Asia Summit — a grand tech event that gathers as much as 12,000 people from all over the world to celebrate innovation and ideas. The event boasts a plethora of features including talks, networking opportunities, matchmaking rounds, pitching competitions, exhibitions, and many more.
As far as tradition goes, the Echelon Asia Summit is a culmination of a series of roadshow stops for Echelon. Dubbed as the Echelon Roadshow, these series of stops are the perfect stepping stones for any startup founder to kick-start their own respective Echelon journeys.
As such, Echelon Roadshow is back this coming 2020 to provide emerging and established startups to get to know their own local startup ecosystems and prepare them for the larger Echelon Asia Summit happening in Singapore. For many startups, this is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the Echelon experience, test their networking skills, brush up on how to pitch their ideas to a large audience of important stakeholders, and ultimately dazzle the crowd.
More importantly, each roadshow stop will come with its own series of talks unique to the ecosystem of the country it is situated in, providing unique insights and updated trends that tackle the very community of startups that you belong to. Through this, you can learn from our speakers made up of local tech founders and stakeholders during panel discussions.
The TOP100 country qualifiers will also be determined at each Echelon Roadshow stops. Startups who join the programme will go on private pitching sessions on the day of the roadshow itself, where they get the chance to win over our judges and slither through to the semi-finals.
Other participants who will not be pitching for the country qualifiers will also be the first to know which local startups will be pitching at the coveted TOP100 stage happening at the Echelon Asia Summit in Singapore.
