The ScaleUp! World Summit is looking for the leading startups in exponential technologies

Exponential technologies have become an indispensable tool for boosting business competitiveness. In this regard, startups are positioned as key players when it comes to developing these solutions and accelerating the digital transformation of any industry with solutions such as Generative AI, data analytics, multicloud, Blockchain, AR/VR, or cybersecurity, among others.

For this reason, DES - Digital Enterprise Show 2024, the largest European event dedicated to exponential technologies, will be the meeting point for emerging companies, which will have the opportunity to present their value propositions to investors, potential partners and large global companies. It will take place at The ScaleUp! World Summit, the forum dedicated to DES entrepreneurial talent, which aims to expand the technological impulse and digitalisation throughout the business fabric of our country and globally.

Interested startups can apply until 19 May in the vertical industries of Banking and Insurance, Retail and eCommerce, Manufacturing and Industry 5.0, eMobility, Smart Cities, Health, Entertainment, Tourism and Hospitality and Sustainability.

The most disruptive companies in each sector, chosen by a committee of experts, will be able to present their solution at the event, as well as having the opportunity to showcase it in the DES2024 exhibition area. They will also be automatic candidates for the European Digital Mindset Awards 2024, in the category of "Best Digital Disruptor Startup Award", and will be able to meet with potential partners to develop their project.

The ScaleUp! World Summit will promote the potential of emerging companies to an ecosystem of investors, leaders and representatives of institutions and organisations to generate connections and create an environment for collaboration and growth.
