Developed: Amsterdam — Pitch Competition & Networking

Afternoon pitch competition and networking at TNW City run by ACT | The App Association to open Amsterdam Tech Week. Eight European startups from the App Association's Scale Lab cohort pitch live to a panel of mentors, policymakers and industry insiders — with the angle that regulatory intelligence (AI Act, DSA, compliance-as-moat) is becoming a real competitive edge for early-stage tech companies, not just a tax. Programme includes opening remarks, a policy-leader keynote, a panel on Compliance as a Competitive Edge, the lightning pitches, a winner announcement (with a spotlight slot at the App Association's TNW Conference booth), and networking that flows into the larger TNW opening party. Free to attend, registration required.
