Exciting Addition to M-FORCE19

R&D4Equity Pitch Night New York: October 23

Join us to pitch your vision, your innovation, and your company as Miratech assembles the region’s leading investment firms and global enterprises for M-Force19 and inviting some of the most innovative technology start-ups to pitch their companies to leading investment firms, angel investors, technologists, and corporations as part of our new R&D4Equity Pitch Night. This year’s event in Europe was co-hosted by our sponsor KPMG. The event host partner for the R&D4Equity Pitch Night in the US is SAP Next-Gen, an open innovation space in NYC.

For each of the events, M-Force19 Europe and M-Force19 North America, Miratech and our M-Force19 sponsors will select 15 of the most innovative start-ups from those that apply to present live pitches on the first day of M-Force19 in both Kyiv, June 26 and New York, October 23. M-Force19 provides a truly unique opportunity for start-ups to speak directly to investors, as well as technologists, potential clients and partners.
