Arena is back on the hunt for the best startup in the region

Arena - JKT
If your startup could use a little fame, some cash, and a lot of exposure, we might just have the thing for you.

Arena, a major highlight across all Tech in Asia conferences, presents startups with the opportunity to soak up the limelight on the main stage as they pitch directly to a panel of investor judges and a 3,000-strong audience comprising of potential users, leading media outlets, and tech corporations.

In readiness for Tech in Asia Jakarta in November 11 and 12, we’re once again on the hunt for startups to take part in the 10-way pitch battle.

As an Arena finalist, you will receive one-on-one training to help you prepare for your biggest show yet. And that’s not all – as one of the top ten startups selected from across the region, you can expect plenty of user interest, media coverage, and potential investment offers. To top it off, the champion of our Arena battle will get to engrave their legacy on the Tech in Asia Arena trophy and pocket a sweet cash prize of US $10,000.

Applications for Arena at Tech in Asia Jakarta are open to all hardware and software startups in the growth stage with less than US$1.5 million in external funds raised.
