Balkan Venture Forum
Balkan Venture Forum

Brussels, Belgium (PRWEB UK) 27 March 2014 -- The Balkan Venture Forum (BkVF) will take place on May 15 & 16 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each presenting entrepreneur will have 5 minutes to convince the Expert Jury about his/her technology, scalability and business potential. Thirty active International Venture Capital investors and Business Angels will be reviewing these presenters who are active in the field of ICT, CleanTech and Life Sciences. The event is strongly focused on providing funding and match-making opportunities.

Confirmed international investors participating at the Balkan Venture Forum include Earlybird Venture Capital, the European Investment Fund, ERA Kapital, DFJ Esprit, RSG Capital and many more.

Programme

The highlights of the two-day forum are:

  • 5 Investment Pitch Sessions showcasing the best technologies from the Balkans
  • 3 plenary discussion sessions lead by thought leaders and active investors
  • Pre-arranged and personalized one-to-one meetings between investors & entrepreneurs
  • Marathon networking and establishing vital relationships during the lunch and coffee breaks

Getting Ready

Prior to the Forum itself, on 14 May, interested companies will have the opportunity to prepare for their pitches and meetings with investors at the half-day Venture Academy. Experienced coaches will be mentoring the companies by working pragmatically with the entrepreneurs in honing their selling proposition, fine-tuning their business model and optimising their pitch delivery.

European Venture Contest

The Balkan Venture Forum is a regional semi-final of the European Venture Contest (http://www.e-unlimited.com/EVC). This means that BkVF Award Winners (top 25% best rated companies) get the opportunity to continue along the European Venture Contest, a pan-European contest of venture events that gathers the best of each edition to join the European Venture Summit (http://www.e-unlimited/EVS), Europe’s largest venture capital match-making event, taking place in December 2014.
