Calling all visionary founders and innovators! Submissions are now open for SXSW Sydney® Pitch 2024 presented by VentureCrowd.

SXSW Sydney Pitch showcases some of the global startup ecosystem’s most exciting, mission-oriented innovations, startups and people creating impactful companies, products and solutions that will change our lives.

And you’ll want to pay attention to this part: the winner receives the opportunity of a lifetime to pitch at the 2025 SXSW Pitch Awards Ceremony in Austin, Texas.

“Startups relentlessly challenge the status quo, disrupting and reinventing business models and [sometimes] solving what was deemed unsolvable. We invite visionary innovators from around the globe to take part in SXSW Sydney Pitch 2024.” – Colin Daniels, Managing Director of SXSW Sydney

This year’s theme is ‘What’s Next’, reflecting the coming wave of technologies and the aspiration to seek solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing our world today.

More than $23.2 billion in funding has been raised at SXSW Pitch in Austin since 2009.  SXSW Sydney Pitch now brings this opportunity to the Asia-Pacific community, providing a global platform for founders and innovators on this side of the world to present their emerging innovative technology across seven categories to a panel of industry technology experts, high-profile media personnel, and venture capitalists/angel investors.

Last year’s inaugural SXSW Sydney Pitch saw Melbourne-based medical robotics startup NanoCube Health win the grand final, giving them the chance to take the global stage at SXSW Austin’s Pitch Award Ceremony earlier this year.
