The Tech Tour of Dilepix
Tech Tour organizes many events each year in several countries with different themes. The goal is to bring visibility to startups seeking funding and create connections with investment funds that share the same values.
#1 Tech Tour Transfer Invest, the French starting point
This ambitious program supported by BPI, the SATT network, the CEA, the CNRS, Inria & Inserm Transfert, brings together startups from public research and European and international investment funds.
French startups which, like us, are spin-offs from research laboratories, are supported and have the opportunity to present their technology in front of some fifty international investment funds, specialized in the Biotech, Healthtech, Digital and Greentech.
At the beginning, we were among 40 startups, selected according to several criteria:
- Our value proposition
- Our growth potential
- Our Team
- The size of our market...
In February 2020, we participated in 2 days of networking and presentation in front of a jury of 55 European investors.
At the end of these 2 days, the jury selected us, with 11 other finalists, and gave us the precious "diploma" necessary to reach the next step.
#2 Tech Tour Future21
Initially, the Tech Tour Final Contest (European stage) was to be held in Germany in December 2020. It was finally cancelled due to Covid.
It is the online edition "Tech Tour Future21" that replaced it in March 2021.
During this edition, 500 investors selected more than 1,000 entrepreneurs during the different sessions organized throughout the year 2020.
We were laureates in our category.
#3 Tech Tour Food & Bioeconomy 2021
Le Tech Tour Food & Bioeconomy 2021 (European stage) was held in October 2021 in a hybrid version (online + face to face in the Netherlands).
For this session, more than 95 companies applied to present their activity. 45 of them were finally selected for the potential of their business.
We are part of the 8 finalists (Category Agri & Biotech) and this award, gives us the right to participate in the last world stage: The Tech Tour Future22.
#4 Tech Tour Future22, the global event
More than 1,000 participants are expected to attend this large online event to be held in March 2022. The winning companies of the different local programs organized around the world in 2021, will have the opportunity to present their solutions and meet individually prestigious investors and experts from the 4 corners of the world (USA, Asia, Middle East, West Africa).
