Pitchnic in Monchique
PITCHNIC
Pitches & Picnic with the innovators building the future from the Algarve.
Join us for the next Grow Algarve Meetup, taking place in Monchique on Wednesday, May 27, from 17h00 to 20h30, for PITCHNIC, an open-air gathering of pitches, picnic, and the innovators building the future in one of the Algarve’s most inspiring settings.
This is a picnic with a purpose: to connect founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, investors, mentors, makers, and curious minds who are building, supporting, or exploring the future from the Algarve.
Expect short pitches, meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and a collective picnic where everyone contributes something to the table.
Bring your ideas, your appetite, and something to share.
🌅 Why join?
PITCHNIC is informal, welcoming, and inspiring. No stage, no digital format, just people with ideas meeting people who can help them grow.
Come to discover new projects, meet regional innovators, exchange perspectives, and enjoy an unforgettable evening that will conclude with one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Algarve.
Want to pitch your project?
Are you building a startup, launching a new idea, developing a creative project, or working on something that could contribute to the future of the Algarve?
We invite you to pitch at PITCHNIC.
This is your chance to share what you are building with an open and supportive community of founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, mentors, investors, and curious minds.
Pitching is a great way to introduce your project to the regional innovation ecosystem, get visibility and feedback, meet potential collaborators, partners, mentors, or supporters, practice telling your story in a relaxed environment, and inspire others who are building from the Algarve.
To apply to pitch, send an email to [email protected] with the subject “PITCHNIC”.
