Startup Launchpad 2019

Do you have a smart idea?

CITI and MEO offer support and investment vouchers for startups and businesses with a smart idea.

This program gives businesses in the startup stage a chance to take part and win vouchers and grants to invest in their company. This comes on top of an extensive mentoring and coaching program, and the exposure your business will get during the pitch event and in the local media.

The Startup Launchpad program was launched in September 2017, and its first edition was a big success: HQ Rental Software won, and ADG took second prize.
