Startups will show their power and compete for prizes. Tech Contest coming in October

23.09.2025

On October 16, The Bridge Wrocław Hotel will host Tech Gala, one of the main events of this year's Made in Wroclaw festival. It is here that innovators, investors, representatives of big business, and enthusiasts of new technologies will meet. The main point of the program will be the Tech Contest - a competition for startups from Lower Silesia that have ideas, courage, and readiness to show their potential to a wide audience. The Tech Contest allows young technology companies to present themselves on stage, gain valuable contacts, and win prizes that will help them in their further development. On October 16, startups will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with investors, potential partners, and customers. All this will take place during the Tech Gala, which will be held as part of this year's edition of Made in Wroclaw.

Not just a competition

Tech Contest is not just a competition for financial prizes. It is also a platform for exchanging experiences and inspiration. The finalists of the competition will have the opportunity to establish relationships with businesses and mentors who will share their knowledge and experience.

“Tech Contest is more than just a competition. It is an opportunity to bring the world of innovation together with business, as well as to establish contacts that can pave the way for global development. We want young companies from Lower Silesia to have access to the same opportunities as startups from Berlin, London, or Paris.”
Krystyna Kardacz, event organizer, specialist at Startup Wroclaw

Presentations, awards, and networking

During the gala, startups will present their ideas to the jury and audience. Then, the winners will be announced, and the evening will end with a networking session, during which entrepreneurs, investors, and event participants will be able to talk in a slightly less formal atmosphere. This is when ideas for joint projects and business partnerships often arise.

How to join the competition?

Startups that want to try their hand at the competition can register their participation via the form available on the event website.

“Participation in the competition is not only a chance to win prizes, but above all an opportunity for development. Each participant gains a unique opportunity to present themselves to an audience that shapes the new technology market on a daily basis.”

Tickets for the Tech Gala are now available.

Wrocław’s celebration of innovation

For several years now, the Made in Wrocław Festival has been showing that the capital of Lower Silesia is a place where innovations on a European scale are born. It is here that technology startups develop, global R&D centers operate, and science cooperates with business. The Tech Contest is a natural addition to this puzzle – it is a stage where Wrocław’s ideas can be seen by the world.
