This year we're stepping it up! emex has always prided itself on having its finger on the pulse of the sector, looking out for new talent and big ideas from innovative companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this dynamic space. We are excited to announce a completely new feature for 2025: Pitch To Your Peers!

Taking place at the end of Day 2 in collaboration with the Sustainable Business Consortium, Pitch To Your Peers puts those innovative thinkers centre stage to showcase their product ideas to a panel of experts from the finance, retail, telco, logistics and airport industries with the aim of winning a coveted trophy.

How does it work?

It will be fast and furious!! Each entrant will present a total of 3 slides lasting 60 seconds each - no more, no less. The judging panel then have 60 seconds to ask questions of the 'Pitcher' before the next person takes to the stage. Once all of the pitches have taken place, the emex audience will vote on who wins the trophy. In the case of a tiebreak situation, the esteemed panel will choose the overall winner.
We are looking for a maximum of 20 Pitchers from either start-ups, companies that have been in the market for less than 5 years or those who have a new, innovative product to launch.
