Program

The Pitch Sessions: 5 Minutes to Impact

At the core of the event are the Startup and Scaleup Pitch Sessions, taking place simultaneously across three dedicated stages focused on the event’s verticals: Life Sciences, Smart Cities, and Aerospace.

Each founder will have exactly 5 minutes to present their technology, business model, and vision on stage. This no-fluff format is designed for an audience of international investors, corporate executives, and innovation leaders looking for strategic partnerships and investment opportunities.

Attendees will be able to move freely between stages, discovering cutting-edge solutions and connecting with the startups shaping the future across multiple industries.

Beyond the Agenda: The Networking Experience
At 50 in a Day, networking isn't confined to a coffee break.

• All-Day Access: From the morning coffee to the networking lunch, the OGR spaces are designed to facilitate spontaneous encounters between innovators and investors.
• The Startup Party: As the sun sets and the awards are handed out, the atmosphere shifts. The final Aperitif & Innovation Party is where the community truly comes together. It’s the perfect time to finalize connections made during the day in a relaxed, vibrant environment, celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship with music and networking that lasts all evening.
