Eurostart Venture Awards 2026 – Student & Start-Up Pitch Event

Join us on Wednesday 25 March 2026 for the start-up edition of the Eurostart Venture Awards (EVA), a dynamic pitching event showcasing the next generation of student and early-stage entrepreneurs.

Delivered in partnership with leading BeLux and UK universities, including Lancaster University, KdG, University of Ghent, EPHEC and Luxembourg University, the event will bring together selected start-ups, faculty representatives, guests and an expert jury panel for an afternoon dedicated to innovation, ambition and entrepreneurial talent.

What to Expect

Student and early-stage start-ups will take to the stage to present their projects to an expert panel of judges.

Each venture will receive:

• 5-minute pitch presentation
• 10-minute Q&A with the jury panel

The programme will open with welcome remarks from the Ambassadors and an introduction to the Eurostart Venture Awards and its mission to support the next generation of founders. Following the pitching sessions, guests are invited to a drinks reception to continue discussions and celebrate the participants.
