Where Innovation Takes the Spotlight

Step onto the stage and share your vision with a global audience. The Pitching Stage at AsiaBerlin Summit 2026 showcases bold ideas, emerging technologies, and high-potential startups from across Asia and Europe.

Overview

Bold ideas, global stage

Selected founders will present their solutions to an audience of investors, corporates, and ecosystem leaders. This is more than visibility — it’s a chance to gain traction, spark partnerships, and accelerate growth.

The Pitching Stage brings together the most compelling startups from both the Asian and Berlin ecosystems, curated across key sectors including DeepTech, Climate, FinTech, Creative Industries, and more.

Each pitch slot is 5 minutes, followed by a Q&A with a panel of experienced investors and industry experts. Pitching applications open 8 weeks before the Summit.
