CEE StartUp Network Grand Finale in Žilina
12.11.2026
On November 12, 2026, the CEE StartUp Network will provide a major platform for up-and-coming startups from Central and Eastern Europe. At the Grand Finale of the CEE Startup Voucher, newly founded companies will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas live to experts and potential investors. In Žilina, Slovakia, the finalists’ pitches will be awarded grants of up to 20.000 euros.
New companies have been able to apply for the CEE Startup Voucher since 2021, and last year, a Grand Finale was held in Slovakia for the first time. The network has made it its mission to support early-stage startups and establish them in Central and Eastern Europe. The goal is to build bridges across industries and borders to universities, government agencies, and large corporations.
