Investors Day @ UPTEC with Daria Golebiowska-Tataj
On May 13, UPTEC brings together founders and investors for an afternoon designed to help you better understand how investors think, connect with the right people and unlock new opportunities. This edition also features a special keynote by Daria Golebiowska-Tataj, a leading European voice in innovation and strategic networking.
This edition introduces a reverse pitching format, where investors take the stage to share what they are looking for, giving you direct insight into their priorities, expectations and decision-making.
The programme combines insight, interaction and curated moments:
– Office Hours: 1:1 meetings with investors (limited spots, upon confirmation)
– Keynote: Strategic Networking for Innovation by Daria Golebiowska-Tataj
– Hands-on session: apply strategic networking techniques alongside investors (limited spots, C-level only)
– Networking cocktail: connect informally with the ecosystem, as a warm-up for SIM Conference
If you’re building a startup and want to raise funding, expand your network and position your project more effectively, this is for you.
