PortXL Investor Connect

​Investor Connect: Investor Matchmaking Day

​On 5 November, PortXL brings investors together with the start-ups and scale-ups of its 2026 cohort. Eleven founders from seven countries across two continents are in Rotterdam for the accelerator program, and this is the afternoon they meet the investors who can help them scale.

​Program
Based on your investment focus, we curate one-on-one meetings with the founders that fit your portfolio. You meet up to four companies in 25-minute rounds.

• ​14:00 – 14:30 Walk-in

• ​14:30 – 14:45 Welcome

• ​14:45 – 16:45 Matchmaking: 4 rounds of 25 minutes

• ​16:45 – 18:00 Networking

​Every registration is reviewed for relevant matches on both sides. We match your interests against the founders' and send you a personal schedule in advance.

This year's start-ups and scale-ups work across:

• ​Maritime & Offshore

• ​Energy & Infrastructure

• ​Dual use
