JIC Demo Day
Our annual pitch showcase where incubated startups present their progress, attract investors, and compete for prizes and follow-on support.
Where Startups Meet Capital
JIC Demo Day is our flagship annual event where the most promising startups from our incubation and acceleration programs showcase their work to a curated audience of investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem enablers.
Selected startups get 5–10 minutes to pitch their business, followed by a Q&A session with a panel of judges. The event culminates in awards, funding announcements, and networking opportunities.
