Watch what happens at the Ideas Festival

The festival

The annual gathering where founders, investors and policymakers meet to turn ideas into execution. Four days of masterclasses, panels, the Ideas Tank pitch competition, and the kind of introductions that change a business.

The Ideas Tank

A live pitch competition where emerging ventures put bold solutions in front of the investors who can fund them.

Masterclasses

Working sessions led by regional and international operators on execution, raising capital and scaling past the first market.

The room itself

Founders, funders and policymakers in one place for four days — the introductions are half the reason people come back.
