PITCH-X Finals & Summit in Singapore 9 Nov: The X Games for Startups
We were at the X-PITCH 2023 Finals & Summit! A great opportunity to:
Gain insights and join the conversation on the impacts of deeptech featuring industry thought leaders for the Deeptech Summit.
Network and connect with Asia’s tech and startup ecosystem in Singapore.
Co-hosted by top organizations from 11 economies, X-PITCH is an iconic startup event in Asia, and probably the most challenging pitch contest in the world. Known as the X Games for Startups, founders go through a series of pitch challenges to win investments, awards and exposure. Over the past four editions, the contest has been held in skyscraper elevators, self-driving cars, and MRT.
This year, the event took place on the Singapore River, where startups, including us, pitched on the iconic bumboats. 10 startups selected from the Global TOP100 advanced to the grand finals at the National Gallery Singapore.

Deeptech Startup of the Year - REVIVO BioSystems
