The The Europas Awards for European Tech Startups is coming, and today it releases its final shortlist after an intense round of public voting and judges’ delioberations. The awards will be held on 27 June 2019, in London, U.K. and TechCrunch is once more the exclusive media sponsor of the awards, alongside new “tech, culture & society” event creator The Pathfounder.
The awards cover 20 categories, including new additions such as cover AgTech / FoodTech, SpaceTech, GovTech and Mobility Tech. Attendees, nominees and winners will get discounts to TechCrunch Disrupt in Berlin, later this year.
The Europas Awards results are based on voting by expert judges and the industry itself. But key to the event itself is that there are no “off-limits areas” at The Europas, so attendees can mingle easily with VIPs. Grab your tickets here before prices go up!
The awards this year will be in the setting of a garden lawn party, where you’ll be able to meet and mingle more easily, with free-flowing drinks and a wide-selection of street food (including vegetarian/vegan). If you’d like to talk about sponsoring or exhibiting, please contact dianne@thepathfounder.com
