Calling all startups: Alibaba Cloud wants to hear your best pitch!

Dear founders,

Do you have an innovative idea that you think could change the world?

This October, we’re inviting startups to pitch to Alibaba Cloud in front of an audience of founders, investors, and professionals from the region’s top tech players.

The winner of the pitch battle will walk away with Alibaba Cloud credits worth US$60,000, connect with top venture capitalists in Southeast Asia and China, and get an opportunity to work with Fortune 500 companies within Alibaba’s ecosystem. The top 50 participating startups will also win one-to-one technical support for migrating to Alibaba Cloud and draw potential investments from regional venture capitalists. All entrants will get Alibaba Cloud credits worth US$3,000.

(Alibaba Cloud credits will only be awarded to participants without an Alibaba Cloud account.)

This event is part of Project AsiaForward’s Alibaba Cloud Global Startup Accelerator Program, through which the company pledges to invest US$1 billion to nurture digital talent, entrepreneurs, and technologies in Asia – particularly Southeast Asia – over the next three years, with support from Alibaba Cloud’s platform.

Up for a challenge?

For this pitch battle, we’re looking for tech startups – particularly those with an interest in the Chinese market – that already have a working prototype.
