Commenting on the tech startup pitch competition and showcase, TechTides founder, Alastair Cameron said:
“We’re passionate about giving early-stage Irish tech startups the opportunity to showcase their innovations, build their brand, and connect with the Northern Ireland and Irish business community. TechTides exists to connect people across Northern Ireland’s tech ecosystem with the ideas, expertise, and relationships that move things forward. One of our core commitments is fostering genuine professional connection between startups, sponsors, and attendees and our start-up pitch competition is a genuine representation of that mission. Our programme puts a strong focus on the startup journey, on what it takes to build, fund, and scale a company, and on the role that community, connection, and the wider ecosystem play in making that possible. Congratulations to the chosen ten, and we are excited to see them take to the stage on the 11th June.”
In addition to the tech startup competition, the programme features keynote addresses, panel discussions alongside dedicated networking for students, founders, investors and senior industry leaders. Speakers include Hermione Way, former Head of Communications at Tinder; Alan Carson, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudsmith and Gabriela Matic, co-founder of global innovation agency Metta.
