President Tech Award: Teams selected to showcase their startups at Demo Day

Plug and Play experts have completed the selection of teams that will continue to compete in the President Tech Award competition with a total prize fund of $1 million.

The jury assessed startups on a 10-point scale for each direction, and the scores were multiplied by the coefficient of the criterion's significance. The average score determined the final result of the startup.

As a result of the selection, the top 50 teams were identified, with 10 in each of the five directions (the list of teams is provided below). These teams will present their startups at Demo Day to experts from Plug and Play, Global Venture ZF Group, Microsoft for Startups, Unicorn Next, iDos Games, Yu Capital, USC Ex-Epic Games, Microsoft & Amazon, Nomadic Minds, and Google.

Before Demo Day, a workshop with Plug and Play experts will be organized for the 50 finalists to prepare them for the final presentation.

The final stage — Demo Day, will take place on November 23 and 24 at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Digital Technologies:

• On November 23, presentations will be held for all five directions, during which potential winners will be determined.
• On November 24, invited experts will give speeches, and final presentations by the teams will take place.

Teams that were not selected will receive feedback from Plug and Play experts, providing them with the opportunity to refine their startups.
