**Cyprus Startups Invited to Pitch at Rome Future Week 2026**
Cyprus startups and scaleups are set to participate in the European Startup Pitch Session during the Rome Future Week 2026, scheduled for September 22 and 23, 2026. This initiative, announced by the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Keve), is designed to promote innovative business ventures and facilitate networking opportunities with key players in the European innovation ecosystem.
The event will take place as part of a larger initiative, Rome Future Week 2026, which aims to showcase emerging businesses from across Europe. Startups and scaleups based in or operating from any European country are eligible to apply, providing them with a platform to present their projects to a wider audience of investors, corporate representatives, and institutional bodies.
Keve emphasized the importance of this event in fostering connections among entrepreneurs and investors, stating that it is an excellent opportunity for businesses to gain visibility and support within the European market. The initiative is particularly focused on strengthening the ties between innovative startups and the broader European innovation community.
To facilitate participation, Keve has extended the application deadline to July 31, 2026, allowing interested companies additional time to prepare and submit their applications. This extension aims to encourage more startups to take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their innovations.
Participants in the pitch session will not only have the chance to present their business ideas but also compete for a support package valued at up to €10,000. This package is designed to help the winning company accelerate its development and enhance its market presence.
Keve has encouraged interested businesses to carefully review the participation requirements and application process outlined in the documentation accompanying the invitation. This information is crucial for startups aiming to make the most of this unique opportunity.
As the event approaches, the anticipation among Cyprus startups is likely to grow, with many looking forward to the chance to engage with potential investors and collaborators at one of Europe’s prominent innovation events.
