The Rheinland Pitch is the largest startup competition in North Rhine-Westphalia. PIRATEx was honored to help produce the 100th edition of this treasured event.
For the 100th edition, a few selected startups had the opportunity to pitch their innovative ideas to investors, prospective clients and interested guests. The digital implementation helped to create an interactive experience for all participants kept apart by the ongoing pandemic.
“The digital platform created an interactive experience for the event’s remote attendees, providing a venue for participants to share ideas and feedback for the assembled startups. ”
Shortly before showtime, PIRATEx’s project lead counts down the seconds before the production goes live.
