How to design and deliver elevator pitches that strike

The NGI Forum, which will be held on the 18th and 19th May, is holding a pitching contest for NGI innovators who want to showcase their solutions and proposals to the NGI Community.

What do you have to do?

Record a video with the following characteristics:

• Horizontal HD videos
• Three minutes MAXIMUM
• Exploitable technical quality (video & sound)

WHEN: New deadline 29th April 2021 EOB
WHERE: NGI Drive via RIAs

Three pitches per theme will be pre-selected by the European Commission and the NGI Outreach Office. The three themes are: 1) Internet Architecture; 2) Internet of Trust; 3) NGI International (EU-US collaboration)

How does the contest work?

The selected pitches will introduce the thematic sessions at the NGI Forum 2021. There will be a public vote by the forum participants, who will choose their preferred pitches taking into account the following criteria:

• Story (structure, clarity, originality…)
• Visuals
• Tone of voice / performance
• Technical aspects

Bear in mind that nobody will assess the quality of your results, but the way you present them.

Here are some resources to improve

To help innovators rock at the pitching contest, Philippe Félix, Marketing Coach & Creative Director from the NGI Outreach Office, has prepared a training session for you to improve your pitching skills.

It is time to show up and bring your project to life!
