THE GRID is the networking hub aiming at connecting the digital platform sphere - all those internet companies, providers of disruptive technologies and digital transformation start-ups - with the physical platform sphere, exhibitions and its companies from those industrial sectors. Founded in 2017 by Messe Düsseldorf in China, THE GRID links digital innovators with their future markets helping them grow from zero to hero, and connects representatives of the classical industries with them. THE GRID organizes lounges, meet-ups, pitches and conferences where both the digital sphere and representatives of industry segments can mingle, network and share expertise to unleash the power of both worlds for a prosperous future of China.
On April 22, THE GRID will join force with MobileMonday and bring together 8 to 10 outstanding startups for the smart retail Demo-pitches night. Become one of only 10 startups that will be given the opportunity to present in front of a jury of VCs, Angel Investors, Tech Incubators and successful Mobile Entrepreneurs.
The Winner and runners-ups in each category will move onto the final round on April 26th at C-star 2019, in front of a panel of VCs and Tech executives, and gain international exposure, PR and opportunities to network. The winner would receive the fabulous rewards containing the visitor ticket and speaking opportunity at EuroShop as well as the free coaching from MobileMonday founder’s team.
