The competition is hosted in partnership with Startup Wise Guys, the leading B2B, SaaS startup accelerator in Europe which manages the selection process and jury duties. The winner will receive 10 000 EUR, with no equity and no strings attached.
TechChill has grown to become one of the leading tech, startup and entrepreneurship inspiration events in the region.
