Alpha for Athens
Startup Support Programme
Showcase Your Startup. Meet Investors. Join the ATS Ecosystem.
EUR 1,100 + VAT. Limited Spaces Available
Alpha for Athens is the Athens Tech Summit’s dedicated programme for young, ambitious startups that want real visibility without the cost or noise of large-scale events. It offers a turnkey exhibition space, meaningful mentoring, and direct access to investors and partners attending ATS.
This is the most accessible way for high-potential founders to enter the ATS community.
What’s Included:
1. Exhibition Space (2 meters)
A compact, high-visibility space designed for lean teams who want to present their product without heavy logistics. Your space includes 1 large desk, four chairs, a storage closet, power strip, and space for 2 roll-ups standing against the wall. (You need to provide the roll-ups, or we can assist you in designing and procuring them).
2. Two ATS Participation Tickets
Each Alpha package includes 2 full-access passes to the Athens Tech Summit, providing access to all sessions. Bring your co-founder, CTO, sales lead, or simply expand your footprint.
3. One-Hour Mentoring / Introductory Session
Early-stage founders benefit from a 60-minute remote introductory session from ATS staff to orient them on main objectives of each startup, capital raise (if relevant), and other information. We will review your pitch deck as part of the mentoring session and provide specific feedback on this.
4. Matchmaking Platform
Each startup will be assessed in terms of your current status (i.e. producing revenue, prototype stage, idea stage, etc.) and the data will be used to recommend you to specific investors attending the event. (We expect over 200 investors to be participating). The data collection is standard and will not take longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.
5. Startup Publication
All startups participating as exhibitors, or pitching or speaking will be prominently displayed on our standard website and social media, but will also have profiles established in a permanent online publication as well as print publication that will be sent to each investor.
6. Innovate Connect Athens
All startups will also have the opportunity to come into contact with corporate and institutional investors as well as companies seeking innovation partners.
7. Media Benefits
Each startup will be profiled by our photographers and videographers during the event and photos will be available for you to use, license-free, in your own promotion.
8. Publicity Benefits
Each startup will be announced to the ATS network and other media posts will take place before, during and after the ATS event.
