A Summit for Startups

S4i offers startups a unique opportunity to accelerate their growth within one of the leading international ecosystems for Deep Science, technology transfer, and industrial innovation. Bringing together investors, research institutions, and industry leaders, S4i creates the ideal environment for science-driven ventures seeking funding, visibility, validation, and strategic partnerships.

Through the Call for Startups, participants can access curated 1:1 meetings with international investors and, if selected, participate in pitching sessions to present their technology, business model, or scientific breakthrough to the S4i community.

Startups will also have the opportunity to compete for the S4i Investors Award, which recognises standout startups in each sector and includes introductory meetings with specialised investment funds, offering direct opportunities for feedback, connections, and potential funding. In addition, selected startups may win a featured space at the Startups Club, an open innovation area where prototypes, products, and live demonstrations are showcased to investors, corporates, and thousands of attendees.

Beyond investment and networking, S4i is a platform to explore collaboration opportunities, discover emerging trends, and position your startup at the intersection of science and industry.
