Call for tech entrepreneurs to apply for acceleration initiative
Tech entrepreneurs from across Scotland are being invited to apply for a programme founded by the Duke of York that is visiting the Capital in the summer.
Pitch@ Palace On Tour Edinburgh is taking place on 2 July, hosted by Edinburgh Business School and He riot-Watt Uni- versity. It is part of a UK- wide tour enabling entrepreneurs to learn about the Pitch@ Palace initiative, as well as connect with local stakeholders and receive mentoring.
The Pitch@ Palace programme was founded in 2014 as a platform to amplify and accelerate the work of entrepreneurs, and guides, helps and connects them and earlystage businesses with poten- ti al supporters, including CEOS, influencers, angels, and business partners.
Through Pitch@ Palace On Tour and direct applications, entrepreneurs are chosen to attend Pitch@ Palace Boot Camp. Heather McGregor, executive dean of Edinburgh Business School, praised Pitch@ Palace for standing out from all other start-up competitions. She said those winning a place at boot camp will get the chance to present to an“influential” audience covering entrepreneurship, technology, media and investment, adding: “It is an exceptional opportunity and we’re appealing to entrepreneurs from all over Scotland to get to it and apply.”
Pitch@ Palace 10.0 will culminate with an event at Buckingham Palace in November.
