TRUESDAYS [JUNE 3]
🚀 This June, we’re shaking things up!
Instead of our usual panel, we’re handing the mic to startups and introducing something new: Startup Spotlight.
If you're building in AI or deep tech—this is your moment.
We’ll select up to 8 early-stage startups to pitch live on stage in front of a jury and the entire audience. Each startup gets:
3 minutes to pitch
3–5 minutes of feedback from expert jury members
Whether you're looking for feedback, visibility, or that first “yes”—Startup Spotlight is your chance to be seen.
👉 Apply to pitch here – deadline mid-May 2025.
Not a startup? No worries.
If you're curious about what’s next in innovation, want to hear fresh ideas, or just love watching founders under pressure—this one’s for you too. 🎯
Come get inspired, ask bold questions, and meet the people building the future.
This month, TRUESDAYS is proud to partner with the Central Bohemian Innovation Center (SIC) and +inovace from CIRI – Center for Investment, Development and Innovation.
SIC is a key innovation agency supporting startups and scaleups in the Central Bohemian region. They help early- and growth-stage companies turn ideas into viable businesses through tailored accelerator programs, expert mentoring, and access to funding. Their mission is to boost innovation and entrepreneurship with real impact — in the Czech Republic and beyond.
+inovace supports the innovation ecosystem by helping companies, research institutions, and educational organizations grow. They provide both educational and financial support — including through the EDIH Northeast Bohemia project.
