About this Event
🚀 Startup World Cup France 2026 | Aix-en-Provence Edition
After a successful first edition, the Startup World Cup is back in Aix-en-Provence, and bigger than ever. Co-hosted by Startup&Angels and Expansi in collaboration with Pegasus Tech Ventures, this second edition builds on last year's success with a full day at the intersection of innovation, capital, and ambition, as part of the Rencontres Économiques d'Aix-en-Provence.
Morning — VC Connect by Expansi
The day kicks off with VC Connect by Expansi, bringing together founders and investors for curated, high-value networking before the main event.
Afternoon — The Big Debate
Who really holds the compass of innovation? For 120 minutes, economists, investors, and founders will go head-to-head in a series of provocative workshops, in a deliberative format where every speaker must defend a clear position and the audience gets to push back in real time.
Then — Startup World Cup
Present in 150+ countries, the Startup World Cup selects France's most promising startups to compete at the Grand Finale in San Francisco. Pitches in English, international jury, real stakes: the winner joins the world's top startups for a shot at a $1M investment prize.
One venue. One day. The people debating the future of innovation funding, and the founders who need it most.
